HAMBURGER CASSEROLE INGREDIENTS
You will need:
- 4 cups dry egg noodles, cooked
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 cup diced green pepper
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
- 8-oz can tomato sauce
- 14-oz can diced Italian style tomatoes
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1/4 cup frozen corn
- 2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese
- Salt and pepper
HOW TO MAKE THIS HAMBURGER CASSEROLE RECIPE
STEP ONE: Spray a 13×9 baking dish with cooking spray. You don’t want all this goodness sticking to your pan!
STEP TWO: Prepare four cups of dry egg noodles according to package directions, then set aside once cooked.
STEP THREE: Next, in a medium skillet, cook the ground beef until it is almost done, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as you go. Add the onion and green pepper to the skillet and cook about four minutes, then add the garlic and Italian seasoning and cook for one minute more. Pour the tomato sauce and diced tomatoes into the skillet and cook together for a few minutes, stirring frequently.
STEP FOUR: Put the egg noodles in the bottom of the baking dish, then pour the ground beef mixture on top. Add in the peas, carrots, corn, and half of the cheese. Mix everything together thoroughly.
STEP FIVE: Heat your oven to 375 degrees. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 25 minutes in the oven, until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. It goes great alongside our cheesy pull apart bread.
FREEZING THIS RECIPE
To freeze this hamburger casserole, just be sure to store it in a freezer-safe container. To serve, you’ll want to thaw and then pop in the oven at 375 degrees to warm through.
I love how quick and simple this hamburger casserole is to make. Everything comes together in a snap in one dish and is ready after a few minutes baking in the oven. The end result is rich, cheesy comfort food.

Layne!!! This was delicious! I made it for dinner last night and it was a huge hit… The leftovers were just as good! I couldn’t find frozen peas and carrots combo so I used the canned. I also used two cans of diced tomatoes for a little more moisture, other than that I seasoned with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to my taste… this is definitely a keeper! Thank you so much for sharing this awesome recipe!!
Delicious, made it just the way the recipe says and the family loves it. Definitely a keeper!!!
This was delicious. I doubled the hamburger and the can of tomatoes. Put in extra garlic and Italian seasoning. Ans of course the best part the cheese out extra on top. Sooo good
What can I use other than frozen peas and carrots? My husband hates peas & carrots.
You could do more corn and peppers. Enjoy 🙂
Made this tonight with breakfast sausage instead of ground beef because it was all I had and I was too lazy to go to the store. Delicious! Tastes kind of like a supreme pizza in a pan.
That sounds like an excellent spin! Could add chopped pepperoni, mushrooms and leave out the peas and corn and finish with a little basil and mozzarella.
How do I measure using spaghetti or fettuccine?
Hi, Lisa – I haven’t tried swapping out for a different type of noodle. I would prepare four cups worth of the other noodles to substitute. Enjoy!
