Delicious comforting poor man’s husband casserole for cozy nights recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion, chopped
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 (10.75 oz) can Condensed Cream of Celery Soup
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can Diced Tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 (16 oz) package Egg Noodles, cooked according to package directions
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, and diced tomatoes (undrained) into the skillet with the ground beef mixture. Heat through.
  4. Step 4: Add the milk to the skillet and stir until well combined. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Step 5: Stir in the cooked egg noodles into the skillet with the sauce. Mix well to coat the noodles evenly.
  6. Step 6: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, try browning the ground beef with a dash of Worcestershire sauce before adding the onion.
  • Leftover casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat individual portions in the microwave for quick comfort.
  • Serve with a side of steamed green beans or a simple side salad to brighten the richness.
  • To prevent the noodles from drying out during baking, reserve a little extra milk to stir in just before pouring into the baking dish.
