Ingredients

  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups short dry pasta
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 clove garlic cloves minced
  • 2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup light cream
  • 2 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 can 14 oz diced tomato
  • 2 medium green onions
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp powdered mustard
  • 2 oz bacon slices cooked and chopped

Instructions

  • Sauté onion in a skillet until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Then add minced garlic and stir for a minute until fragrant. Next, add ground beef and stir until cooked, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375F.
  • Add canned tomato, green onion, dry pasta, light cream, powdered mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, and beef broth. Simmer, covered with a lid for 8 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Note: stir regularly so the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the skillet. Remove from heat.
  • Fold in shredded cheddar cheese and mix.
  • Transfer the mixture to a large oven-safe dish and top with shredded mozzarella cheese. Finally, bake for 10-15 minutes for the cheese to melt.
  • Serve warm with crispy bacon bites on top.

Notes

This Cheeseburger Casserole is packed with comforting flavors and satisfying ingredients. You’ll taste a burger in every bite due to ground beef, cheddar cheese, and saucy tomato. Then, crispy bacon is the cherry on the pie as it provides texture and Big Mc’s flavors!
 
Tips
  • This casserole is best when freshly made, as the pasta will be soggy once reheated, although it’ll still be tasty.
  • Keep leftovers in the fridge, covered, for up to five days. Then, reheat it in the oven at 350F for 10 minutes.
