TALLERINA CASSEROLE

Super easy and makes a lot - great for leftovers. My mom always made this great casserole for family picnics and potlucks. Everyone loved it, but my dad's brother was a fanatic! I believe this casserole was originally based on a Spanish dish. My mom's recipe called for black olives, but she never used them nor do I.

Time 1h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 large onion
1/2 lb egg noodles
2 (12 ounce) cans whole kernel corn
2 (18 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes
1/3 lb Velveeta cheese

Steps:

  • Brown ground beef with chopped onion until beef is thoroughly cooked and onion is soft and translucent. Drain fat.
  • Place DRY noodles in bottom of 9x13 pan.
  • Spread ground beef mixture evenly across the noodles.
  • Drain 2 cans of corn and spread in pan on top of ground beef.
  • Open tomatoes, but DO NOT drain. Layer in pan evenly, breaking tomatoes up slightly so that the tomatoes are evenly dispersed.
  • Cut Velveeta cheese into 8 thick slices and layer on top of casserole. You can substitute other processed cheese loaf-type cheese, but be aware that some do not melt well on this casserole, so I always use Velveeta.
  • Bake 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees (no need to preheat oven) until cheese is melted and brown.
  • Noodles will be cooked and soft - infused with the flavors of the ingredients. Enjoy!

Old casserole; this is Nebraskan version which is tomato soup; other versions have black olives. This one didn't have olives but I am putting that option.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, diced
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can tomato soup
1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
2 cups cream-style corn, recipe says 303 can which is about 2 cups
1 (6 1/2 ounce) can mushrooms, use juice also
1/8 cup black olives, sliced (optional)
4 cups egg noodles, cooked
1 cup cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Pour into a Pam sprayed casserole.
  • Top with 1 cup cheddar cheese.
  • Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. Whenever possible, use fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and ruin the texture of the casserole.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Different cheeses will give the casserole a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of hard, soft, and creamy cheeses.
  • Add some protein: Protein helps to make the casserole more filling and satisfying. Good options include cooked chicken, beef, pork, or tofu.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making a tallerina casserole. Feel free to add your favorite ingredients and create your own unique recipe.
