What’s for dinner? The question we ask ourselves daily. Well, simple ground beef casserole recipes should be in your recipe box for those days that you don’t have an answer. Since you can add a bit of this and that to create a different flavor profile, they’re perfect for picky eaters.
Jenny Pennington’s (Colorado Springs, CO) “Cheeseburger” Casserole is a fun dinner. It tastes like a cheeseburger deluxe.
“I make this quite often at my house, and it’s always a BIG hit,” reveals Jenny. “There are 9 people that live here, and 5 of them are children who just love this!”
This has all the flavors of cheeseburgers, and the bread is toasted just right. I love the super cheesiness of the dish. So good your family will go back for seconds or thirds.
Simple to throw together, Kathy Sandoz’s (Jasper, TX) Enchilacomalejita Casserole (Mexican Casserole) will quickly become a favorite.
“I didn’t have all the ingredients to make one whole recipe, so I decided to improvise,” explains Kathy. “Necessity is the mother of invention. We weren’t disappointed!”
Enchilacomalejita is a mouthful, but don’t let that scare you from trying this casserole.
Taco-seasoned ground beef is layered with enchilada sauce, flour tortillas, and crumbled tortilla chips. Then, there’s a lot of cheese in every layer.
Top with diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and a dollop of whipped cream for a great weeknight dinner.
“This is a quick casserole version of hamburger steak with onions, brown gravy, and potatoes,” shares Cheryl Mosley (Decatur, TX) of her Hamburger Potato Casserole. “It is great comfort food and so easy to make!”
The final result of this flavorful casserole is a cross between a baked goulash and beef stew. Yum!
The addition of onion soup mix and gravy mixes means there is plenty of seasoning. As this casserole cooks, the gravy thickens and the potatoes soak up all the flavor.
Doing low carb? Then Cheryl Chavez’s Low Carb Green Chile Burger Casserole is worth trying. Hearty, cheesy, and very flavorful, it’s a wonderful meal.
“This is a very tasty low-carb casserole,” thinks Cheryl. “I serve this casserole with a small green salad. It is easily tweaked to suit your family’s taste.”
Quick and easy to prepare, the topping is kind of magical in the way it looks like a bun. This reminds me of a giant loose-meat burger once it’s baked.
Follow Cheryl’s suggestion of adding your favorite barbecue sauce and it turns this into a tasty barbecue burger casserole.
Serve with a salad or green vegetable if you’re eating low-carb. If not, baked potatoes or fries will be great.
“I love the meaty marinara pasta you can buy,” says Gail Welch (Carthage, TX). “So I decided to try to make it at home. It is easy to make and very appetizing.”
Gail’s Italian Casserole tastes like a cross between pizza and lasagna. How can that be bad?
This casserole has a punch of tomato flavor and is super meaty. The bits of ooey, gooey cheese are perfect.
When you make any of these hearty ground beef casserole recipes, I guarantee no one will in your family go hungry. Don’t worry about leftovers going to waste. Heat them the next day for an easy lunch. Happy Pinching!
