Hamburger Supreme Casserole (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Protein

01 - 1 pound of ground beef

→ Aromatics

02 - 1 diced small onion
03 - 2 minced garlic cloves

→ Seasonings

04 - 1/4 teaspoon of pepper
05 - 1/2 teaspoon of salt
06 - 1 teaspoon blend of Italian herbs

→ Pasta

07 - 8 ounces of any pasta you prefer, like egg noodles

→ Sauce

08 - 1 cup of sour cream
09 - 1 drained can (14.5 oz) of diced tomatoes
10 - 1 can (10.5 oz) of cream of mushroom soup

→ Cheese

11 - 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan
12 - 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, shredded, split into two portions

→ Garnish (Optional)

13 - 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped

# Instructions:

01 - Fill a big pot with water, add some salt, and crank up the heat till it’s boiling. Toss in your noodles, cook as it says on the package (aim for tender with a slight bite), drain, and set aside.
02 - Heat a wide pan over medium. Throw in the beef, along with the onion and garlic. Keep stirring and breaking up the meat until the beef looks cooked through and the onions soften (this’ll take around 6 to 8 minutes). Carefully drain any fat.
03 - Sprinkle in the Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Stir to mix it well. Add the canned, diced tomatoes and cook for another few minutes (2 to 3 should do). Take it off the burner.
04 - In a bowl, stir together the sour cream and cream of mushroom soup until it’s smooth and creamy.
05 - Turn your oven on and preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grab a 9x13-inch dish, layer half the noodles first, then half the beef mix, next half the sauce mixture, and top with 3/4 cup of cheddar cheese. Repeat that layering method and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
06 - Cover with foil and stick the dish in the oven. Let it bake for 20 minutes, then uncover and bake another 10-15 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the cheese on top bubbles and gets a little golden.
07 - Allow a couple of minutes for everything to settle. If you like a pop of green, sprinkle with parsley, then serve warm.

# Notes:

01 - Great choice for weeknight dinners or hanging out with family.
02 - To switch things up, ground chicken or turkey works too.
03 - Toss in spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for more veggies.
