Made this last night! Wasn’t my favorite but it was still good. It made a ton!
Fabulous! I didn’t have cream of mushroom so I did 2 tomato and added some canned mushrooms, this went fast and was so easy! I love your recipes thank you
Awesome – I’m so glad you like it Tami! Thanks for trying my recipes!!
Look good, dear.
This is very easy, affordable, and taste great. I did add cheese in the dish as well as on top. I have a family member that can not have tomato sauce and this does not bother them. One to keep!
I’m so glad you liked it!
Did u use chilli powder? What if u don’t want to?
You’re certainly welcome to add it!
Just made this for my boyfriend and roommates and it was a great success. So Effing delicious. Great recipe!
So glad you liked it!
I’m about to try this recipe tonight, January 19 ,it looks very good.
I hope you liked it!
Family wrinkled their noses watching me mix the ingredients together. 40 minutes later, nothing but an empty dish. Will be making it again! Thank you!
Oh this is one of my favorite comments, thank you so much for taking time to let me know!!
What about adding a can of drained rotel?
I haven’t used Rotel much, so I’m not sure how much advice I have to offer – but I’d say if it’s something you like – give it a shot! Let me know how it turns out!
This was great! I added a can of Rotel (not drained) and it added some zing. Fast and easy!
Oh yum, that sounds delicious!
Trying it tonight
Enjoy!

This was very good and easy. Also added a can of mild rotel.
Thanks
Wonderful! I love the addition!
I don’t have any tomato sauce on hand… could I use spaghetti sauce or wait to try this recipe till I have tomato sauce?
Thanks!
Made this tonight for my family. I steamed the noodles in the pan with the meat and sauce instead of putting it in the oven and it still tasted great. Thanks for the idea.
Added jalapeños and bacon… It’s was great! Thanks for the quick and easy dinner idea! Oh, and used Gluten free noodles – all the same…
That sounds wonderful! So happy you liked it!
Do you use 1 1/2 cup of cooked macaroni noodles or 1 1/2 cups of dry macaroni noodles that are then cooked.
1 1/2 c. dry macaroni, then cooked. Great question!
The measurement of 11/2 dried macaron needs to be corrected.
Due to putting 11/2 cooked noodles v.s. 11/2 dried noodles and then cooked, the recipe was still outstanding! My husband loved it! It would be helpful if the recipe was “corrected” for future users. Jeanette Mundy
When I was a little girl, Kraft Macaroni and Cheese put a recipe on their box called Wagon Wheel Dinner (I think: my siblings and I affectionately called it Slop;) it was one Mac n’ Cheese dinner cooked according to directions, ground beef, onion and a green pepper chopped, cooked and drained and added to the Mac n cheese, a small can of tomato paste, salt and pepper. Yours sounds like it is probably creamier. We loved it as kids, though.
It’s super creamy and cheesy, let me know if you give it a try!
Just made this and kids and hubby are DEVOURING it!!! Thank you!
Oh that makes me so happy, yay!
This is the 3rd time I have made it I double the recipe because I cook for 5 people. My family loves it. My kids eat it. Especially hard to find food my twin 2yr olds will eat they like it. Thank you for sharing . great to throw the corn mixed in my 8 yr old is hard to get him to eat veggies.
Wonderful! So happy your family loves it so much!
We don’t like mushrooms. Is there anything else I could use?
Hmmm… maybe cream of chicken soup? I’m not sure. So sorry!
I made this yummy dish tonight for dinner and I used cream of mushroom and cream of chicken (because I didn’t have tomato) it turned out great!
Awesome, thank you for letting me know!
Do you drain the corn?
Great question, yes – you do.
ThIs Recipe was really good. My youngest son had seconds… He never asks for more!!! We will definitely be cooking this again? thanks for sharing!!
That makes me so happy, glad you enjoyed it!
Do you drain the hamburger meat?
Yes, you’ll want to drain off any fat if you have any.
how big is the can of cream of mushroom?
10.5 oz. can
Made this last night & everyone loved it! Very delicious & so easy!
Thanks for an awesome recipe! My kids are 9, 7, 5, and 3 – and all but the 7 year old loved it. But he doesn’t like anything so no surprise there. 😉 I don’t prefer to use cream of anything soups, so I replaced it with some sour cream. It was very creamy! Also didn’t have any corn on hand, so I’m looking forward to trying this again soon. This is a very versatile casserole, as I feel you could totally add whatever you like! Thanks again! 🙂
VERY GOOD.
I made this recipe tonight and it was great. I substituted the ground beef for ground turkey. Hit was a big hit. Thanks for the recipe. I’ll most definitely be making this again.
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
can you double this and freeze ?
I’m looking to make this for my boyfriend and our roomates as well but I’m worried it won’t be enough (we eat a lot). Did you double the recipe or leave it as is?
The photos are not doubled and it was a pretty good size portion, it would make a ton if you doubled it (which may be good for your guys if you eat a lot!)
I made this tonight for the first time. I added some spice to this recipe to suit our spice loving palettes. Extra chili powder and red pepper flakes. We enjoyed this casserole so much . Thanks for the recipe.
Awesome, I’m so happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
I have 4 kids so I had to double the recipe and I also added some sour cream before baking. My family loved it!
I made this tonight for supper, I didn’t have tomato soup, so I used a small can of spaghetti sauce, two cans of mushroom soup and cheese. The family raved over it and I did enjoy it myself. We will be making it again.
Miss Yvonne, This recipe is simply delicious, quick and easy just what I needed on a busy day like today mind you it’s the day before Thanksgiving and with all the prep I gotta do my 7yr old offered to help me make this casserole it was kid friendly as well 🙂 when it was time to eat my boy closes his eyes and asked “is this real?” lol we loved it and I don’t even like hamburger meat! Thanx for sharing.
Haha.. this is the best comment ever. Thank you so much!!
Did you make yours with regular tomato soup or cream of tomato soup?
Just regular.
I made this tonight and it was delicious. I added some sour cream and white cheddar before baking. It is definitely going on my short list for family dinners!
White cheddar? That sounds AMAZING!!!
Is it condensed soup?
Just regular tomato soup (I think Campbell’s is condensed, and that’s what I usually buy).
Tomatoe soup or sauce..?
Soup
This turned out really well! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I used a half a jar of pasta sauce that was already open and in the fridge, instead of the tomato soup. I also added several nuggets of frozen chopped spinach while I was sauteeing the onion and ground beef. I like to add extra greens to casseroles when I can. Smoked paprika added a nice smoky richness to it. Will definitely be making this again!
Wowsers, your alterations sound AWESOME! I’m so happy you liked the recipe – I need to make your version next!
I am getting ready to make this recipe of yours for my family of four- I am so excited to see how it turns out!
I used some leftover macaroni & cheese instead of the noodles. Thought it would be a good way to use my leftovers & it turned out great! Thanks for the recipes?
What perfect comfort food!!!
Right? Totally comforting!
All the cheese…this looks so delicious!
Thanks Christie!
Your photos are stunning! My mouth is watering!
Thank you so much! You’re the kindest!
I need a big bowl of this STAT!!!!
You’ll have to let me know if you give this a try!
I remember my grandmother making something similar to this and I LOVED it. Going to have to give it a whirl for some old memories. Thank you!
I love any memories where grandmother’s are involved. I miss mine all the time 🙂
That looks like MAJOR comfort food! It reminds me of my favourite church potluck dishes!!
Totally brilliant – this would be great at a church potluck!
Could I by chance use two cans of tomato sauce instead of the tomato soup and cream of mushroom?
You could definitely swap it out, I haven’t done it myself so I can’t tell you what the result will be – but I can’t imagine that it will make that much of a difference as far as the tomato soup vs. sauce. The elimination of the cream of mushroom may make more of a difference.
Made this tonight, added some Frank’s hot sauce because I didn’t have chili powder. I got a thumbs up from everyone (except the extremely picky child, who actually didn’t complain about what was on her plate either- so I’ll take it). Will definitely make again. Thank you for the recipe, my husband told me I did a good job lol! Thank you for your blog, and keep up the good work!
Wow, thank you so much Amber – I really loved reading your comment!
Very good. Thank you. My wife and I commented on how this casserole reminded us of goulash.
Oh wonderful, happy you enjoyed it! I love me a good goulash, I can see how it’s similar.
Do you have to add the corn?
Nope, if you don’t like corn you’re certainly welcome to leave it out.
made this tonight. hate mushroom anything so tried using cream of onion soup instead of cream of mushroom (then i omitted the onion recipe calls for). turned out pretty good. could use some more tomato soup but will do that next time. reminds me of a dish my mom would make.
Cool, those are some pretty neat substitutions you made. Glad it worked out and you liked it. That’s the beauty of a lot of recipes, you can customize them to fit your taste!
Made this and a skillet of cornbread tonight. Perfect for an easy Saturday night supper! We really enjoyed it. I also added a can of Rotel for a little punch. I liked that it was nice and saucy! This is an easy and economical meal. Thanks so much!!
Thank you for your comment – I’m so happy you liked it!
I am doing this tonight for dinner, sounds so good and easy. i will let you know how it turned out. I do not have any cheese to grate over it, but will try can of nacho’s cheese in the can because that is all I have. Cross your fingers it will be amazing…
Oooh nacho cheese? How could that NOT be amazing? Hope it was good!
I hate to be a party pooper but my family found it “blah” at best. My husband finished a small bowl (he was starving) but declined seconds because it “wasn’t worth the calories.” My teenager tried a few bites, grabbed her keys and headed to Taco Bell. Maybe if I’d added the Rotel! Still glad I gave it a shot!! Can’t win them all!
I actually really appreciate you comment. I guess it goes to show that you can’t win them all. Sorry you had a bad experience, so many people have loved this recipe – I’m sorry that you didn’t as well. Thanks for letting me know 🙂

Making this tonight, can’t wait to try!!! Looks Delish!!! Thanks for sharing!
Were we supposed to cover it to bake?
I did not cover mine
Last nite I made this….but, I warmed tortillas in Microwave, then placed in muffin tins. Added mixture. Top with what ever you like, me, salsa, sour crème, green onions, hot peppers.. Awesum Sauce!..Thank you for recipe
What a great idea!
Yvonne, Thank you so much for posting this recipe. It was so easy to make and the ingredients made for a perfect dinner. My 14yo son ate half in one sitting. I used ground turkey and shredded my own cheddar block. You really can’t go wrong with this recipe and I can’t wait for more of your ideas!
You’re welcome – fresh shredded cheese is ALWAYS better – YUM!!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Trying this tonight…. You cook the noodles first? How big of a box?
Yes, you will want to cook the noodles first. Any size box should work as long as it yields at least 1 1/2 c. of uncooked noodles!
I haven’t tried the recipe yet, but it reminded me of a recipe I made in Home Ec in the 60’s. The teacher called it Baked Hungarian Goulash. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks for posting this.
Hey Yvonne what if U don’t have cream of mushroom, would it still taste good without it?
When using condensed soup do you pore it straight from the tin or do you add a tin of water as well?
This was a life saver and has become a family favorite! I did not have all of the ingredients when I made it. I used a 14.5 oz can of Hunt’s diced tomatoes with basil, garlic and oregano. I browned the ground beef with salt, pepper, chilo powder, diced onion and a 1/2 of a havasu pepper. I had less than a 1/4 cup of mixed cheese that I mixed in with cream of mushroom, tomatoes and I added another 1/4 cup of mozzarella, more salt, pepper and chili powder. Then covered and put in oven as instrcute and topped with mozzarella last 15 min. Oh my, my husband and son love it! If I don’t hide some to take to lunch thr next day there wouldn’t be any! Thank you so much for this recipe! For a family on the go this is great! Quick fix and makes a lot. I have a 15 yr. Old son who plays football and wrestling, two scoops of this and he’s full!!!
Saw this recipe and my mouth started drooling!! Debt bunny to store for only 2 items, had everything else on hand! Cooking now!! Will keep you posted!!!!
do you add water with the cream of mushroom soup?
With all the condensed soups, it sounds like it would be very salty . Do you have any suggestions to reduce the sodium in this dish?
