Three-Layer Beef Casserole image

A great, easy to make ground beef casserole, taken from Sunset's Potluck cookbook and slightly modified to our liking. Everyone I've made it for loves it. Easily fills a 9x12 casserole dish and will feed a large family or group.

Categories     Meat

Time 1h30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 lbs ground sirloin
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1 large brown onion, finely chopped
2 (15 ounce) cans tomato sauce
2 tablespoons dry basil
1 (10 ounce) package spinach fettuccine
1 (4 ounce) package sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup milk

Steps:

  • NOTE: Extra lean ground beef may be used in place of ground sirloin.
  • Crumble ground beef into a wide frying pan over medium heat, cooking and stirring until browned.
  • Discard all excess fat and stir in garlic, onion, tomato sauce, and basil.
  • Reduce heat, cover loosely, and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a 6- to 8-quart pan, cook pasta according to package directions, until just tender to bite - do not overcook.
  • Spoon meat mixture into a 9x12 casserole dish.
  • Top evenly with pasta.
  • Sprinkle cheddar cheese over pasta.
  • In a bowl, mix together cream cheese, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
  • Pour over the pasta using a knife to seperate pasta so it can drizzle down inside. (At this point you may cover and refrigerate for one day).
  • Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. If refrigerated, bake up to one hour.

This casserole is a great freezer meal. I just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to eat.

I used ground turkey instead of beef, and it turned out great.

The casserole was good, but it wasn't as flavorful as I was hoping for.

This casserole was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.
