Grandma's Hamburger Casserole
Some recipes don't need reinventing. This hamburger casserole has been feeding families since the 1940s, and one bite tells you exactly why. Ground beef, egg noodles, and a creamy three-cheese filling baked until golden — it's the kind of dinner that empties the pan every time
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 recommended
- 15 oz tomato sauce 1 standard can
- ½ tsp white sugar
- ½ tsp garlic salt
- Salt
- 8 oz wide egg noodles
- 1 cup sour cream full-fat recommended
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ medium medium white onion finely diced
- 1 cups shredded sharp cheddar or more to taste
Notes
For a crispier cheese top, broil for the last 2–3 minutes — watch it closely. Leftovers keep in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
