Skinny Cheeseburger Casserole Recipe 445

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray. (I used one of my favorite red casserole dishes from Chantal!) 2. In a large stock pot, cook pasta according to package directions, drain and set aside. 3. In a medium skillet, add olive oil and cook onions and garlic for 1-2 minutes. 4. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Add salt, pepper and burger seasoning to ground beef while cooking. 5. Add in tomatoes, tomato paste and mustard. 6. Allow the mixture to cook and thicken until bubbly. 7. Add the pasta to sauce and mix to cover evenly. 8. Transfer mixture to casserole dish. 9. Top with cheese and bake for 20-25 minutes. 10. Remove from oven and top with chopped dill pickles before serving (optional).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease an 8-cup baking dish. Place baking dish on a cookie sheet.
• Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and onions until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off fat.
• Drain liquid from canned tomatoes into a 4-cup measuring cup, adding water if needed, to make 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Add juice, tomatoes, macaroni, corn, bell pepper, garlic, soy sauce, chili powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper to the beef mixture; bring to a boil.
• Pour 1/2 of the beef mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup of Mexican cheese, add remainder of beef mixture, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake, covered, in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
