Okay, y'all, how many of y'all like quick family dinners?
I'm gonna share with y'all tonight,
a cheeseburger casserole.
So, I have dropped a pound of ground beef
in my pan over here,
and I'm going to toss in my onions,
my bell pepper,
and I'm gonna let that cook.
And then if it's got a lot of fat in it,
I'm gonna drain that off,
but hopefully, it won't have a lot of fat,
and I'm gonna,
I like to kind of leave my ground beef a little chunky.
You know, I don't like to just
pulse it to
where you can't tell you got a piece of meat.
Okay, so I'm gonna turn that up a little bit now
and get that pot to go.
And I just took
some
noodles,
and they're right here.
I have them over here in the colander draining,
and they're just an egg noodle, y'all.
And that's gonna be the starch
to our cheeseburger casserole.
So, this is really going to take on the flavors of, like,
a baked spaghetti or something like that.
Now, after I add our can of tomatoes,
you're supposed to let this simmer for like 15 minutes.
We may bypass that (laughing).
We may speed this family dinner up.
All right, I'm gonna add a little salt,
a little pepper,
and there again, you know, but what you like.
If you'd rather have celery than a bell pepper,
switch it about.
this looks so good.
I got that baby blowing.
All right.
Now when that's done browning,
I'm gonna add
a 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes.
And I don't think we're going to have to drain this, y'all,
'cause that was some lean hamburger meat.
So, we're just going to let that bell pepper and onion
get a little bit more tender.
Y'all think it's tender enough?
So do I
Okay.
So this is the point we'd want to let it simmer
for about 15 minutes.
Looks very, very good.
All right, now I'm gonna add some Worcestershire sauce.
That looks like about a tablespoon,
and then I'm gonna add a teaspoon of oregano.
So that's what makes it come into that kind of
Italian family.
Okey-doke, can you get over there, Eddie,
and see that our cooking?
It smells really good.
All right.
Our next step
is to add our egg noodles
that we've drained.
We're gonna throw these over in the pot.
This is really one of those easy, easy,
quick family dinners, y'all,
and you know, it's something that all the kids will eat.
And if they're starving,
they can get them up a bowl,
and put it in the microwave, and
feed themselves.
Now, I've sprayed this pan with
a nonstick,
and I'm just gonna pour this
into our prepared pan.
And this is one of those dishes, y'all,
that'll just get better
the longer it sits.
There we go.
And then we're gonna put two cups,
of chop, sharp cheese,
easy for me to say.
Sometimes these new teeth get me
So, we're gonna bake this for about 15 minutes, y'all,
just long enough for that cheese to melt.
I believe we could have used almost three cups of cheese.
Okay, in the oven for 15 minutes,
that, and maybe some (laughing).
I'm having time here today.
So, nice French bread and a little salad,
and you're home free.
So, in the oven 15 minutes.
And that won't take long because everything was hot.
It was piping hot that we put in there,
so it won't take but a few minutes.
All right
That was a quick 15 minutes, y'all.
I lost some of my cheese, I think
I want my cheese.
I want what's rightly mine,
what's rightfully mine.
Like I said, I think
I would
have been happier if I'd had
one more cup of cheese to go on it.
So here we go.
I think this'll be making some little happy campers happy.
Mm.
It's really good, y'all.
It's honest.
You know, there's no foo-foo about it.
And I think your children are gonna love it.
And there's a good chance that you have
all these ingredients in your pantry.
I got to quit eating 'cause that's definitely
tonight's supper
Love and best wishes!
