Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1.25 cups water
- 1 package (6 ounces) store-bought stuffing mix
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, about 7–8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and fragrant.
Season the beef mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir to combine, then remove the skillet from heat.
In a large bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and water. Stir until smooth.
Fold the stuffing mix into the soup mixture, ensuring the stuffing is evenly moistened but not overly wet.
Spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer the stuffing mixture on top of the ground beef, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the stuffing layer.
Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy!
