As the title suggests, this was my Grandmother's recipe. I've tweaked the amount of cheese and sour cream depending on what I've got in the fridge and it always turns out great! My mother has suggested this was made up as a way to use up ingredients in the fridge.

GRANDMA'S CASSEROLE



Grandma's Casserole image

This recipe goes back to when my family lived on the farm and was tight on cash. A delicious combination of just the right ingredients! YUM. Grandma is an amazing cook. Note-- For the vegetables you can substitute a bag or two of frozen vegetables. I like to use the new steam bags that you stick in the microwave!

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
16 ounces instant mashed potatoes
16 ounces of mild shredded cheese
11 1/2 ounces cream of mushroom soup
14 ounces carrots (frozen or canned)
14 ounces green beans (frozen or canned)
14 ounces sweet corn (frozen or canned)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Brown the beef in a frying pan. While the beef is cooking, follow the directions on the instant potato box and prepare those in a separate pot. If you are using frozen vegetables, cook those now as well in a separate pot. If you use canned veggies, there is no need to cook them.
  • When the beef is browned, drain any grease from the pan. Add the can of creamed soup directly to the frying pan and mix the meat and soup together. (heat should be off now.).
  • On the bottom of a 13x9 baking pan smooth the beef mixture to cover the bottom. Add the vegetables on top of the beef. MAKE SURE TO DRAIN ALL LIQUIDS BEFORE ADDING TO THE DISH! On top of the vegetables smooth over the already prepared mashed potatoes. Sprinkle the cheese on the top and season with black pepper.
  • Stick 'er in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is nicely tanned.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality dried beef. Look for beef that is lean and has a deep red color.
  • Soak the dried beef in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help to soften the beef and make it more tender.
  • If you don't have time to soak the dried beef, you can cook it without soaking it. However, the beef will be tougher.
  • You can use any type of pasta for this casserole. However, a short pasta, such as elbow macaroni or penne, is a good choice.
  • Add your favorite vegetables to the casserole. Some good options include carrots, celery, onion, and peas.
  • Be sure to season the casserole well. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices.
  • Top the casserole with a layer of cheese before baking. This will help to brown the casserole and give it a cheesy flavor.
  • Serve the casserole hot with a side of your favorite salad or bread.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Dried Beef Casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is a great way to use up leftover dried beef, and it is also a budget-friendly meal. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give Grandma's Dried Beef Casserole a try.
