Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups elbow macaroni or similar short pasta
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.
Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it into crumbles as it cooks.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent. Drain off any excess fat if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until smooth.
Fold in the cooked macaroni, ground beef/onion mixture, frozen mixed vegetables, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dish is heated through.
Remove the dish from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy your Old Time Hot Dish with a crisp green salad or some warm bread on the side!
