How to make quick and easy 4 Ingredient Hamburger Casserole
Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the pasta. Drain when done.
Step 2: In the meantime, prepare the oven and preheat it to 375 degrees. Ready a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Grease and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the ground beef with garlic powder, salt, and pepper (or any seasoning of your choice) in a large skillet until brown, breaking the meat into chunks as it cooks. Next, add the cooked pasta along with the tomato soup, half a cup of water, and half of the cheese. Stir well and cook over medium heat for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 4: Into the prepared baking dish, pour the mixture, and top with the rest of the cheese. Tent with foil and place in the preheated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, then remove the cover. Return to the oven and resume baking for another 10 minutes. To brown the cheese, broil in the last 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5: Serve the casserole right away. Keep any leftovers for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Notes:
For this dish, you do not have to use mozzarella. You can rather use 100% cheddar. But it all depends on your personal preference. If you like stringy cheese, then use mozzarella.
If desired, add some diced onion or onion powder to the beef mixture. You can also omit it.
