Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked pasta (e.g., elbow macaroni, penne)
- 1 15 oz can canned corn, drained
- 1 15 oz can canned tomato sauce
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. This should take about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Add the drained corn, tomato sauce, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta and sour cream. Mix well to coat the pasta evenly.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Spread half of the pasta mixture at the bottom of the dish.
Layer half of the beef and corn mixture on top of the pasta. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining pasta and beef mixture. Top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your easy hamburger corn casserole!
