Easy Hamburger Corn Casserole

Submitted by Bergy

"This can be a do ahead casserole just pour the ingredients into a casserole dish before you do the final 20 minute simmer and then pop it into a 350F oven 25-30 minutes before serving - put some buttered crumbs on top - I like to serve it over noodles or add cooked macaroni to it for the final simmer - I treat this as a good basic casserole that is tasty as is or even better with your creative touch"

What a quick and easy recipe for a weeknight (and economical, too). A real family pleaser. DH and DS had huge second helpings and suggested that I not lose this recipe! Always a good sign.... I served it over macaroni. You're right, it's a perfect recipe to vary a bit whenever you make it - maybe some bell pepper, maybe some beans instead of macaroni, etc., etc. This is a keeper.

Very good. I added fresh Parmesan at the end and served it with a splash of Sriracha sauce over Chili Cheese Fritos, which added a nice crunchy feature. Great, easy comfort food. Husband loved it!

I followed the recipe to the letter and found it just ok. So then I added a can of Sloppy Joe and served it over an open bun. It was still just ok. I will finish eating the rest this week but doubt I will make it again.

Just whipped this up for my dinner and it is fantastic! It'll be my lunch for throughout the week and if I'm not sick of it by then (and I doubt I will be) another quick, cheap and delicious make ahead meal will emerge in my rotation. Thanks!

This was delicious! I served it over penne pasta, but it was just perfect for me on its own. I did add some italian seasoning to the mix- you had written you liked to use italian flavored diced tomatoes, so I made my own! Also, after cooking the ground beef, I did drain it a little as there was a lot of extra liquid. We will be making this again!
