Cheeseburger casserole from tonight and when I say I wish I could eat my weight in it, I am not even joking, I don't even LIKE egg noodles and I wolfed down two big bowls of this like I was never going to eat again.

And since people always ask, recipe under the cut

1lb ground venison or extra lean ground beef (or ground turkey)

12oz egg noodles (wide)

1 can tomato sauce (15oz)

1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5oz)

1 small onion, diced small

Garlic (dealer's choice if you want to mince some or use garlic salt or garlic powder it doesn't really matter) to taste

Salt (to taste)

1 TBSP butter

Cheese of your choice, I used sharp cheddar, shredded. 8oz is what the recipe called for. Shred it yourself if you're able, it will melt better.

Cook noodles al dente (they will cook more during the bake)

While noodles are boiling, toss onions, butter, garlic, salt, and if you can eat it, pepper (I'm allergic so idk how pepper will change it but the og recipe called for it) or whatever seasoning you'd use on a burger into a large sauce pan (LARGE saucepan) to start cooking the onions unless you like crunchy texture in your soft casserole (judging you), and once they start to soften, add the ground meat to brown it.

You can drain the meat after but I didn't. Venison barely leaks liquids and extra lean shouldn't either.

Anyway, combine the sauces into the browned meat and then the noodles once they're done. Put half into a 9x13, cover it in cheese, add the other half, cover that in cheese, and then bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!

Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole

[cameronskywalker]

Introducing the famous Winchester Surprise!

We decided our first recipe from this cookbook just had to be straight from the family business. And here's our thoughts!

Difficulty 10/10

Taste 7/10

Appeal 7/10

Overall Rating 14/20

To start, this dish is the definition of comfort food. It was yummy, filling, and easy enough for anyone to make. The prep time was about 20 minutes, including all the chopping and stove cooking, and oven time was just enough to squeeze in an episode. Once done, we dug in and wow. Although it's not the prettiest, it was so good. Salty and tangy, this take on a cheeseburger casserole was a great easy night dinner. No wonder the boys loved it! But a warning to you all. Do NOT grab that extra scoop. Let your bowl settle before you think about grabbing more because trust me, you don't need it. We all learned the hard way.

The Dean Score 10/10

This would be a 10 simply on the fact that it's something of Mary's but that's not it with this dish! Not only is it a taste of home and comfort, but it's literally a scrambled cheeseburger! Delicious, greasy, and everything you need for a stuffed stomach and a night spent lounging.

The Sam Score 5/10

Although it's one of the only meals Sam would ever taste of his mother's cooking, aside from the fact it was one of the only ones she COULD cook, it's not something easily stomached by the more health conscious of eaters. If you don't really enjoy a cheeseburger, you won't really enjoy this.

Day 29: Low-FODMAP Cheeseburger Casserole

The high-FODMAP version of this hotdish has been a favorite in the household: it's dead easy comfort food. After my success with a mac & cheese-style casserole, I figured I'd give a low-FODMAP version a go. There didn't seem to be too many substitutions, and the flavor profile didn't seem too reliant on garlic and/or onions.

That's all true, but I want to take a moment and bellyache about how quickly and thoroughly AI has ruined Google searches. I wanted to know if American cheese was low-FODMAP, and duly googled it. The very first link went to a site which was obviously written by AI, and included verifiably wrong information.

For example, the site claimed that milk was low-FODMAP, which it is not. After a little more searching, I found an article written in 2018, well before LLMs turned the internet into gray goo, that indicated that American cheese has way more lactose than other hard cheeses, like cheddar, and could not be part of a low-FODMAP diet. I'm going to believe that over some fcuking AI hallucination. The internet sucks.

So. To the recipe:

Low-FODMAP Cheeseburger Hotdish

12 oz gluten-free elbow macaroni

1 1/4 lb ground beef

3 c water

1 15 oz can tomato sauce

1/2 c chopped dill pickles

2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp dry mustard

1 tsp brown sugar

6 slices bacon

6-8 slices fake American cheese (or cheddar slices)

salt, pepper & vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 475F. Generously grease a 9x13 baking dish with vegetable oil or lactose-free butter. Spread noodles in dish, and crumble beef into 1/2 inch pieces over the noodles.

Mix water, tomato sauce, pickles, Worcestershire, mustard, sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper together in bowl. Pour into the dish with the noodles and stir to combine. Cover tightly with tin foil and bake for 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, microwave bacon until crisp, and then cut into crumbles.

Remove the dish from the oven, and stir thoroughly, scraping the sides. Lay cheese slices on top of casserole to cover, sprinkle with the bacon crumbles, then return to the oven and bake for another 4-7 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

This turned out exceptionally well. Before this low-FODMAP nonsense, I had tried cheddar slices as the cheese topping, but I didn't particularly like how they melted. So I used Violife Just Like American Sandwich Slices Vegan Cheese Alternative, which are actually as advertised. They melted well and honestly taste like American cheese, but without gluten, lactose, or soy, which a lot of fake cheeses have. But cheddar slices would be fine in a pinch.

The other questionable thing in a low-FODMAP diet was the canned tomato sauce. Tomatoes are okay in smaller quantities, which for sure this was, but most tomato sauces have garlic and onions in them, which is on the no list, FODMAP-ily speaking. I was able to find a sauce that was just tomatoes -- the brand is Pomi -- but for sure you could use petite diced or crushed tomatoes, and this recipe would turn out fine. Pay attention to labels, per usual.

Anyway! Everyone went back for seconds (and one for thirds) so this was a total win. So much so I don't really have leftovers for lunch tomorrow, which is annoying. The drawbacks of success.

Disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to minimize FODMAPs in my diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients. Especially because the internet is broken.
