With busy weeknights and not a lot of time to cook, this easy Hamburger Casserole will become a staple in your family’s dinner routine! Most of the ingredients are found in your pantry which makes it incredibly affordable as well! Serve this one skillet meal alongside Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli, Air Fryer Parmesan Brussels Sprouts (or oven roasted), or a Simple Wedge Salad for the perfect balanced meal!

This meal is so easy! I often make it to take to friends and neighbors when they’ve had babies, moved, or needed a delicious meal! Everyone always raves about it, and even picky kids devour this hamburger casserole!

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.

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.

It’s easy to make some side dishes to go along with this One Skillet Hamburger Casserole! My serving suggestions would be:

  • Air Fryer Roasted Broccoli
  • Air Fryer Parmesan Brussels Sprouts (or oven roasted)
  • Simple Wedge Salad
  • The Easiest and BEST Garlic Bread

    I made some substitutions that probably didn’t lend itself well to the recipe. We tried to use ground turkey (as that is what we had defrosted). It definitely needs the beef flavor to help add to the recipe and counter act/compliment the taste of the cream of mushroom soup. Also, my kids felt there was too much pasta. So next time I would either cut the pasta or up the beef to make it seem heartier in the meat section.

      I am happy you tried it Rebecca, I have’t tried it with those changes you made, but sounds like next time stick to the recipe! My kids have never met a dish with too much pasta, but I guess it could happen LOL!
