Ingredients
- 1 pound angel hair pasta
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 can (10.75 oz) tomato soup
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the casserole.
- Cook pasta: Boil the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
- Cook beef and onion: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is fully browned and no longer pink. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
- Combine soups and season: Stir the tomato soup and cream of mushroom soup into the cooked beef and onions. Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Mix pasta and meat mixture: Add the drained angel hair pasta to the skillet with the beef and soup mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
- Assemble casserole: Grease a casserole dish with a little butter or cooking spray. Pour the pasta and meat mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
Notes
- You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Adding a sprinkle of Italian seasoning or garlic powder to the meat mixture can enhance the flavors.
- For a crispier top, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- This casserole can be prepared ahead and refrigerated before baking; just add a few extra minutes to the bake time if starting cold.
- Use low-fat cheeses and soups to reduce calories and fat content if desired.
