Cheeseburger Casserole


Cheeseburger Casserole


2 cups raw pasta
1 lb. ground beef
1 cup onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 Tbsp. tomato paste or 1 cup marinara sauce
28 ounces diced tomatoes or 1 cup fresh chopped tomato
2 tsp. oil
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. mustard
2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped dill pickle

1.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. 
Cook pasta according to directions.  Drain well. 

2.  Heat oil in skillet; add onions; cook just until softened.  Stir in garlic. Stir in beef and cook until browned; season with salt and pepper.  Stir in tomato paste (or marinara sauce), tomatoes and mustard.  Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes.

3.  Toss meat and pasta together; put into the baking dish.  Sprinkle with cheese.  Bake for about 12 minutes or until bubbly.  Top with pickles and serve.    Serves 6.

This is almost exactly like a recipe I used to make for the kids when they were at home.  I've adapted it from a recipe from the Brunch Time Baker.
