Serve cheeseburger casserole recipes with a non-starchy vegetable to help balance the casserole’s rich flavor and creamy texture. Try a stovetop broccoli cauliflower combo or one of these fresh side salads.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 medium onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 pound uncooked elbow macaroni
- 3 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 cup dill pickle relish
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a Dutch oven or large oven-safe skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion; cook until beef is browned, breaking into crumbles, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, parsley, oregano, salt and pepper; cook one minute longer. Stir in macaroni, broth, milk, crushed tomatoes and Worcestershire.
- Bake until pasta is al dente, 15-20 minutes. Stir in pickle relish and 2 cups shredded cheese; top with remaining 1 cup shredded cheese. Bake until cheese is bubbly, about 5 minutes longer.
