Cheeseburger Macaroni Casserole
Hmmm I bet you are wondering what the heck is Cheeseburger Macaroni Casserole. This is a dish you can make up ahead of time and when you get home all you have to do is pop it in the oven! I love recipes like this when I have a busy day and don’t have time to fix supper when I get home. This recipe is a complete meal and very tasty!

In a large frying pan over medium heat,
melt the butter and sauté the onion and
garlic (or add the garlic powder and dried onion)
until the onion is translucent.
Add the ground beef and cook until no
pink remains, discarding excess fat.
Add tomato sauce, salt, pepper, oregano
and corn. Stir and simmer a few minutes.
Spray a 3 quart casserole dish
with cooking grease.
Pour the hamburger mixture into the dish.
Cook the macaroni according
to the package directions.
Drain the pasta.
Return pasta to the pan and
add the shredded cheese.
Combine the pasta and cheese.
Pour the pasta and cheese on top
of the hamburger mixture. Use a large
spoon and press down on the pasta.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork.
Add the eggs to the milk and whisk together.
Pour egg mixture over the macaroni.
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Bake covered in a preheated 350 degree
oven for 1 hour and serve.

Thank you and I am happy to check out your blog!
Sounds delicious. I like Mac Cheese (the only thing on the menu that resembled food during a prolonged stay in hospital) and the kids like burgers – so one day we must give it a try. The only downside is that my wife loves burgers especially those with cheese and then an egg on top, but hates Mac Cheese! There used to be a small cafe near where I lived that would do an awesome burger takeaway – starting as a basic cheeseburger then add an egg or two, throw on a few rashers of smokey bacon and top off with some fresh mushrooms (and possibly a little more cheese). Not a salad leaf in sight. Add some fries …
Oh my your wife sounds like a smart lady! Did you see this recipe has 3 eggs in it?
My daughter liked the sound of this so she had a go at cooking her own ‘fast food’ version.
Shred or break up an Aberdeen Angus beef burger and brown off in the frying pan (add extra onions if you wish). Place in the bottom of a greased round Pyrex dish – medium size just so there’s a good layer of meat on the bottom. Then add a layer of cooked pasta – we used the twirly type. Make up a cheese sauce and pour over. Add a small layer of potato cakes. Sprinkle with a little more grated cheese. Top off with an egg or two and pop in the oven for 5 mins or so until the egg is baked and the cheese nicely brown. Serve and season to choice and eat on its own or with a salad. Some tomatoes layered over the top before the egg may be another option – we’ll have to try it sometime.
Thanks for the original recipe and inspiration.
Tell her nice job! It sounds like it turned out very good. That is what sharing recipes is all about…inspiring everyone to make their own version.

This sounds so good, I wouldn’t have thought to bind it all together with the egg. Will have to give it a try, thanks for sharing!
After it cooked I mixed it all together and it was fabulous! Thank you!

I used to make a version of that with marinara sauce…so good.
Ohhh I bet it was! Love a good marinara sauce!
Yeah, I could eat it all by itself… 🙂

Looks yummy and I could have sworn that I commented on this last night – maybe my comment is floating around in cyberspace or I forgot to press “send” (more likely the latter).
Oh I have definitely done that before…hahaha Thank you!
