Amish Country Casserole

This Amish country casserole is an easy, hearty, economical, and satisfying dish for feeding your family. 

This casserole is the epitome of easy comfort cooking. Throw together pasta, ground beef, an easy sauce, and a topping of cheese, and you you can get dinner on the table within an hour. 

While this casserole is known as "Amish" Country Casserole, because it contains canned condensed soups and store bought pasta, it probably got its name due to its simple nature (rather than true Amish authenticity). I've also seen this old fashioned hamburger and pasta casserole referred to as Amish yumasetti and beef noodle casserole. 

Simple Ingredients:

Pasta: I used macaroni but you can also substitute other pasta shapes or even egg noodles. 

Ground Beef. 

Onion: Cooked with the ground beef before adding to the pasta. 

For the Sauce: Canned condensed mushroom soup, canned condensed tomato soup, whole milk, Tabasco sauce, and salt and pepper. 

Cheese: For topping the ingredients before baking. I used Monterey Jack cheese. 

Optional Ingredients and Variations:

You can add frozen peas or other vegetables to the mixture before baking. 

Other optional additions can include topping the cheese with breadcrumbs for an extra crunch along with a light sprinkling of dried parsley. 

It the spirit of country cooking, keep it simple!

I baked this casserole in a 9 inch square casserole. Any 2 quart casserole, including Pyrex, will work. 

Make-Ahead and Storage:

You can make and assemble the ingredients for this casserole in advance and then bake it the next day. You can also store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 or 4 days and reheat them in a 350 degree F oven. 

Serve this casserole with a side salad and sourdough bread or garlic bread for a quick and easy meal!
