Life back when I lived at home was simple. We didn’t have a lot of money, but we weren’t poor either. Dad worked hard, Mom did too. She was a homemaker and stay-at-home mom to four kids, so she worked really hard actually. She just got paid in hugs and kisses instead of money. Part of her daily routine of course included making up a nice dinner for everyone.
It was always the most special meal of the day. Breakfast was a rush, lunch we weren’t all there, and then dinner was when we could slow down, relax, and talk about our day. She was the best at coming up with different casseroles.
With six people to feed, she had to come up with dishes that would go a long way. One of my favorites was always her hamburger noodle casserole. Ground beef was a common meat, just because it was cheap. So when she could turn it into this, it was a real treat.
We always finished up the whole pan. It was very much the same as this recipe from Group Recipes. If you haven’t made it for your family yet, I suggest you should. It will be your new favorite.

Quick Tip: Top with shredded cheese.
I love getting these recipes and making them .I used to work in a bakery and catering business
I usually change out the cream of mushroom soup for a can of cream of celery soup since my family does not like mushrooms and it is wonderful!
Me too! Or cream of onion
Good idea. I do not like mushroom soup in my recipes.
Leaving out the corn and cream of chicken..we call this recipe hamburger stroganoff. Yum!
Could also use a can of cheddar soup instead of mushroom
Do you put water in the soup or just use what’s in the can?
No do not add water to the soup
I love your recipes but don’t understand why you have to have so many pages before you actually can print the recipe. Would be nice if you had a “print” feature to click on . Way too much description before the actual recipe. People just want the recipe NOT all the ads & descriptions. It is a waste of paper.
Hi, Karen. You don’t have to print all of that stuff. Just highlight the section that you want to be printed and choose that option when your computer’s print box comes up. You can also opt to print just the page that the recipe is on via your printer settings when the print box appears on your screen. It should be on the left hand side. 😉
Made this tonight and substituted Cheddar soup instead of mushroom. The taste was very good but the bread crumbs just sat there on the top and shook off when serving. It was also very dry. To the point that my wife could not finish it. A shame because now I have a lot of it to deal with. Oh well they aren’t all a success.
If you make it again maybe add some milk to the soup mixture , because of your comment I will be doing just that — thank you
Not much taste to this. Do not think I will make it again even tho it was easy.
Add some “Accent’ comes in a shaker at your local market about a 1/4 to 1/2 tea spoon should be more then enough and when you add the soup use half a can as opposed to a full can- we make it with just the cream of chicken soup and about half of the other ingredient’s- I have never added corn – but sure my daughters would like it- change it up by adding fresh peppers and small onion- just the peppers and onion will add flavor with out adding accent or add onion soup in place of mushroom soup.
I know I’m not a real good cook but still like to try something new! Thanks for sharing.
If you find the breadcrumbs to flaky, mix the crumbs with some melted butter and then sprinkle on top. Also for a twist, I have at times added grated cheese to the top for the last 10 minutes of cooking. It just adds a little something extra to the recipe.
Do you boil the noodles first?
