From the Recipe Box: Easy Cheeseburger Casserole.
July 19, 2023 2 Comments
I’ve got another dinner cheat for you, and it takes half the time and only a third of the ingredients that I found on recipe websites. The Cheeseburger Casserole is a good comfort food dinner, but I made it the other night because I got caught out in a rain storm and was cold. The storm went on to spawn a tornado south of Ottawa, too. I can believe it. The clouds were scary as they passed over and I’m glad they only dropped rain.
Onto the dish. All the recipes I found online had ten or more ingredients, and if you’re in a hurry, some of them you’d have to go out and buy prior to making the dinner, and some of ingredients, I’d only use once over the next six months, when this one that I put together has ingredients most of us already have in our pantry.
Ingredients.
2 lbs lean hamburger
1 box of Kraft Dinner
1 ½ – 2 Worcestershire Sauce
½ tsp Garlic powder
1 tbsp Dried Onion flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste.
½ cup Shredded cheese (optional)
7 ingredients. That’s it. Pictures are HERE.
Instructions:
Cook the hamburger and Kraft Dinner at the same time. This is what saves you time. Season the beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion flakes. Mix well. Add in the Worcestershire sauce. Mix. Drain and prepare Kraft Diner and set to one side until beef is ready. When the beef is done, mix the Kraft dinner into it and top with shredded cheese. Cover and let the heat from the food melt the cheese. That’s it. It takes roughly seven minutes to make the Kraft Dinner and fifteen to twenty minutes to the hamburger, depending on your stove.
All these ingredients are a staple in my house. I had some store-bought shredded cheese left over from another meal so I added it in, otherwise, I use American cheese slice to bump up the cheese for the Kraft Dinner. The Worcestershire Sauce gives it a nice bite too, but if you’ve never used it before, use it sparingly.
Enjoy!
