How to make Hamburger Casserole:
**scroll down for full ingredients list and printable directions**
- Start by cooking the elbow macaroni. Add the macaroni to boiling water and cook for 9 minutes. We want the macaroni slightly undercooked because it will cook more once mixed in the skillet. Drain and set macaroni aside.
- Add olive oil to a medium high sided skillet or pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and onions, then sauté for 5 minutes. Add chili powder and paprika, and stir to combine. sauté 2-3 more minutes.
- Add cream of mushroom soup, tomato sauce, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, mix to combine. Add cooked macaroni and then stir to coat the macaroni.
- Add frozen corn and part of the cheese and mix to combine. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese over the top of the hamburger casserole. Turn heat to low, then cover the skillet and cook for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat, uncover, and serve immediately!
How to Freeze and Reheat Hamburger Casserole:
- Leave the cheese off the top of the casserole.
- Once the casserole has cooled, transfer to a freezer safe container like this aluminum baking pan in an even layer. Sprinkle the cheese over the top. Cover with foil or lid and freeze.
- To cook from frozen: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Leaving the casserole covered, bake for 50 minutes. Remove the lid and bake 10 more minutes to melt cheese. Serve immediately.
