Description

Amish Country Casserole is a hearty and comforting baked dish that combines ground beef or sausage, egg noodles, creamy mushroom soup, vegetables, and cheddar cheese. This simple, family-friendly casserole offers layers of rich flavors and a satisfying texture, perfect for cozy dinners, potlucks, or make-ahead meals.

Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 1 pound ground beef or sausage

Pasta

  • 8 ounces egg noodles

Sauce

  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk

Vegetables

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to package directions until just al dente. Drain and set aside to avoid overcooking in the casserole.
  2. Cook the meat and aromatics: In a large skillet, sauté diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent. Add ground beef or sausage, breaking it up, and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Combine the sauce: In a mixing bowl, stir together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth to create the creamy base.
  4. Mix all casserole ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, meat mixture, frozen peas and carrots, and the soup mixture. Stir gently to evenly distribute all components.
  5. Add cheese and bake: Transfer the mixed casserole into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook noodles; slightly undercooked pasta will finish cooking in the oven, preventing mushiness.
  • Use fresh cheese by shredding your own cheddar for better melting and richer flavor.
  • Drain fat properly from cooked meat to keep the casserole from feeling heavy or greasy.
  • For added texture, sprinkle crushed potato chips or breadcrumbs on top before baking for a crispy crust.
  • Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to help it set up nicely for serving.
