Made this tonight with a few adjustments. I added garlic powder, coriander, oregano, crushed red pepper in small amounts and used taco seasoned shredded cheese. My family likes spice and they gobbled this up.
Niki
Delicious, family loved it

can i use tomato paste instead? i cant go to the store until tomorrow.
Lisa
Great question! It’s what I would like to know as well, or even tomato sauce. I have a family member that dislikes Tomato Soup.
Sharon
Ditto
I have cans of tomato sauce and tomato paste…but no tomato soup
ELISE
Yes you can. I modified this recipe to be more “mexi” style so I also added velveeta cheese and I add rotel tomatoes too. Once you start putting it together you’ll see how easy it is. I would suggest a lil ketchup with the tomato paste to make it more condensed soup consistency but this is a seriously easy recipe to modify for your resources.
Kathy
I just make a box of Mac and cheese and add cooked hamburger when the mac and cheese is done. Easy and good.
Anita
I tried this recipe last night – it was delicious! I added 1 cup of sour cream to the soups/corn mixture as well as garlic and cayenne pepper. We loved it!
Do you add water to the soup
Elise
No. Just the condensed soups mixed together.
Wendy
I’m not a cook at all…..my family and friends can attest! This recipe was easy and turned out delicious! Thank you for sharing!
Cheryl Bellew
Why couldn’t you do this on the stove top?
Kathy
I have made this twice. I only cook the macaroni to el dente. I find this dish freezes well even with the mac in it. I freeze individual servings and then when I want some I just take it out of the freezer and straight into the microwave till hot. I check after 4 min and stir up then continue heating until completely heated through.
Donna
Family loved it. It’s a keeper. Trying new recipes while Under quarantine.
Tiff
I never know when making recipes like this, if I’m supposed to add the can of water for each soup, or just use the contents of the cans…
Yvonne
Great question Tiff! In this recipe you are only supposed to add the contents of the can, without extra water.
Tracey
Just the can of soup, no water unless the recipe tells you.
Jill
What if I wanted to do this in the crock pot? What would be the temp and time? I’m hoping to make this asap so hopefully you see this :)
Yvonne
Hi Jill, that’s a great question! ! I haven’t personally tried this recipe in a crockpot before so I can’t speak to how it would turn out, but I have a feeling it would turn out pretty well if you added all of the ingredients to the crock pot (including the ground beef, broken up into smaller peices), stirred everything together well, and cooked it on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours. I would recommend NOT draining the can of corn, and also adding 1-3 cups of water to the crock pot so that the macaroni noodles have plenty of moisture. Please let me know how it turns out if you decide to give it a try!
Barb Link
I have a similar “Taste of Home” recipe that uses 2c dry macaroni, browned and drained meat, and 2c milk. Cook in a crockpot on LOW for 6 hours. It is all just stirred into the pot. I hope that helps!
Barb
Oh… and the soups and other ingredients, of course!
Chloe
How much does this make? There are 7 of us in the house hold should I double it?
Yvonne
Hi Chloe, this recipe makes 8 servings, but depending on how hungry your family is, you may want to double it to ensure that everyone can go back for seconds!
susan
can you freeze left over’s
Yvonne
Hi Susan, absolutely you can freeze left overs! This recipe freezes great and holds up well for several months in the freezer. :)
susan
Going to make tonite but can I freeze left over’s as will be too much for 1
Deborah
I was wondering if anyone has tried this with frozen hash browns instead of noodles. If so, I’d love to hear how it turned out. We are trying the noodle version tonight.
Yvonne
Hi Deborah, I haven’t personally tried this recipe with frozen hash browns before, but I imagine that it would probably be pretty tasty! Please let me know how it is if you end up giving it a try.
Ashlet
That’s an excellent idea. I’m going to try it next time!!
You never said to drain hamburger after seasoning
Kathy
Can you use tomato sauce instead of soup?
Kathy
Can you use tomato sauce instead of tomato soup?
DOJO52
Want to try your hamburger casserole but I have just one question.
I get really sick if I eat mushrooms what can I use instead of mushroom soup?
Jill
I think any cream soup would work. Maybe onion. Cheese might be really good😋
Yvonne
I second Jill’s excellent suggestion! Any cream soup should work great. :)
Rus
Easy, fast, and pure comfort food. Thanks
Yvonne
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the recipe Rus, thanks for taking the time to let me know!
Cindy H
I made this tonight. I followed the recipe but used 2 cups of cooked noodles.
Hubby didn’t think the corn made sense but I enjoyed it!!
Was thinking you could do a Mexican spin and add a half can Rotel peppers ?! I wonder if anyone has ever tried that.
Yvonne
Hi Cindy, I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe along with the corn! I think a Mexican spin on the recipe is a great idea and I’d love to hear about your experience if you end up trying it!
Debra Gomez
I loved this recipe it was very good
Yvonne
Awesome Debra, I’m so happy to hear that you love this recipe as much as I do!
Lisa
My 9 year old son hates tomato sauce so I omitted the tomato soup and this dish was super yummy with just the mushroom soup! Such an easy, comfort food recipe. :)
Yvonne
I’m so happy to hear that you and your son loved this dish Lisa! Nice work on making the recipe your own to better jive with your son’s taste preferences. :)
