Cooking Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain it well and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is no longer pink. Drain excess grease to avoid a greasy casserole.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, browned beef mixture, spaghetti sauce, condensed cheddar soup, Worcestershire sauce, milk, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish and spread it out evenly. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. Return the dish to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. This casserole serves as a homemade alternative to Hamburger Helper, providing a comfort food experience that is quick to prepare, even on busy days.]
For best results, make certain you drain the pasta thoroughly and press out any excess grease from the ground beef to avoid a watery casserole.
You can also enhance the flavor by using canned tomatoes or adding your favorite herbs and spices.
Finally, glass or ceramic dishes are ideal for baking, as they retain heat well and promote even cooking. Enjoy your delicious Cheesy Hamburger Casserole!
