Easy Cheesy Hamburger and Noodle Casserole {Farmhouse Style}

Comfort food on the farm looks like this Easy Cheesy Hamburger and Noodle Casserole!  This ground beef casserole has noodles, cream of mushroom soup, celery, pizza sauce and shredded cheese.  This casserole is SO easy to make, and one of the BEST meals my family eats!

Easy Hamburger and Noodle Casserole with Mushroom Soup

Our family craves meals with beef like this when the weather is cool.  A warm casserole with a protein, noodles, can of soup and a couple other simple ingredients in a recipe hits our family menu on a regular basis!

Even when we have to eat a couple hours apart this ground beef casserole can stay warm covered in foil.  After working outside a classic hot dish casserole is always appreciated by my farmer!

Sometimes we like to mix up the ingredients for our casserole and put it in the refrigerator overnight.  We always use a basic casserole dish with a lid.  The next day we will add a little more sauce to the top and sprinkle with cheese before baking.

Best Ground Beef Casserole

Ground beef casseroles are so practical.  We will cook several pounds of hamburger at a time and mix up a few casseroles to save time.  Little things like this save a lot of time in the kitchen but still enable us to enjoy home-cooked meals throughout the week.

Hands down the best ground beef casseroles are covered in cheese and possibly bacon.  Our Italian Bacon Cheeseburger Pie is packed with tremendous flavor, but it’s so easy to make. Bacon really keeps our Crock Pot Bacon Cheeseburger Meatloaf moist!  Another classic ground beef casserole in a pie plate is Cheap and Easy Taco Pie.

Plenty of sauce will help prevent beef casseroles from drying out.  Our Upside Down Pizza Casserole  has pizza sauce to keep it juicy.  Cream of mushroom soup keeps our Hamburger and Tater Tot Casserole moist as it cooks in a crock pot.

We’re farmers so we use beef that is raised on our farm, but we also buy a lot of groceries and know that we’re supporting local farmers when we shop at large grocery stores like Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club and Kroger.  We’re all connected and food comes from farms.

Farmhouse hamburger and noodle casserole makes about 6 to 8 servings.  We also liked the crunch that the celery adds to this recipe.  Of course, we used our scan pan to brown the hamburger.

Can This Ground Beef Casserole be Frozen?

Yes!  Allow the casserole to cool after being baked and wrap tightly in plastic wrap and foil if freezing the entire dish.  I prefer to put individual servings in zip lock bags or in freezer containers so a quick lunch can be taken to work and reheated.  Sometimes I like to freeze family size portions in a larger freezer container.

Some additional tomato sauce or cheese may be added to keep the noodles moist as they are reheated.
