MeMe's Recipes | Hamburger Casserole

welcome to Mimi's kitchen take two I'm sure all of you read about this house the last night but you know what that's technology for you and so we're thankful for it when it works but when it doesn't it sure does create a lot of um problems so tonight we are going to make the same thing we made last night which is hamburger casserole and this is a quick and easy casserole that you can make just when you run in from work just throw this together stick it in the oven then by the time you get everybody situated it'll be ready and for you to eat and just cook you a couple of vegetables and you've got a meal or make a salad so um we're going to start right off the first thing that I did was I've already started my noodles and these this is a 12 ounce package of just the egg noodles and so any brand will do whatever you can find is fine so I've got those right here in this pot got them cooking so I'm gonna turn them down just a tad all right then um I've already preheated my oven to 350 degrees so it'll be ready to go all right I'm going to turn my eye on I'm Gonna Let My Pan get hot here and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to put a little bit of water in there and then I'm gonna put my hamburger meat now this is one you can use ever how much hamburger you want according to what your uh your family likes tonight this is going to some college boys so I'm putting a lot of hamburger in it because boys like a lot of meat so I'm using two and a half pounds of hamburger you can just as easily make this with one pound of hamburger or or whatever you would like the more hamburger of course the media it is so we will um get our hamburger in here okay these noodles are ready so that's the first thing I'm gonna do is take them up put them right there in the colander let them sit there all right this is my hamburger meat I put about a half a cup of water in here I um put some salt and pepper on my hamburger meat just enough for taste you don't need a whole lot because by the time we put the cheese and the soup in it it has seasoning of its own now one thing I do like to do I like to just grate my onion right into into the meat and if um if you've been watching me you saw on my spaghetti video that this is what I did and to me it just makes it a little tastier you get a lot of the juice and then till you don't get hunks of onions in it you'll always have some others that I don't like onions in my stuff so if they can't see them they don't know they're there and I know that sounds kind of funny but a lot of people think they don't like something but really and truly they don't know they don't like the textures what it is all right that was kind of uh a little bit bigger than a medium onion I'm not gonna use it all foreign just enough to get it seasoned really good now we just go slowly Brown all this and we'll be right back okay let's look at this now we've got our hamburger here is at the stage where we need it because remember this is gonna cook in the oven and y'all the good thing about this recipe it only cost for four ingredients noodles hamburger cream of mushroom soup and cheese whiz now I already have put my cheese whiz in the microwave when you often do that not be very careful because it will just run all over everywhere so I put mine on defrost and I um just you don't want it necessarily melted it just needs to be soft because we're going to mix it with other things so now I'm going to cut my eye off here and I'm going to take my hamburger up and we'll be right back okay y'all this is not in the cookbook so grab yourself a pen or pencil or whatever you write with in the cookbook there are extra sheets in there where you can make notes and all and this is similar to the bacon cheeseburger casserole but this is much easier and this is primarily a shortcut for people who don't have a lot of time so you see some people just kind of put that in the back of your mind now we're doing this for young mothers okay all right we're going to put us a this is cream of mushroom soup now you can use cream of um celery cream of onion cream or whatever just just a good cream soup because it's really one of the things that helps add the flavor to this so that was two of your regular cans and then this is the cheese Swiss and this is a 15 ounce jar right here so see that's just soft that's enough that we can mix it with our other ingredients and let them all get acquainted here with one another okay let all that off of there all right now we're just going to mix this oh y'all it smells good and I'm just gonna be honest with you I made this last night when we had our disaster with our video so we've already we've eaten it so we know it's good so absolutely it is delicious everybody just loved it oh my big old taste testers I had over here and um I'm sorry y'all didn't get to see them but those kind of things happen okay now all right put our noodles in here okay pour these ingredients right over that [Music] y'all this is so easy and so tasty your children will love it um my oldest daughter Stephanie they used to go to the beach and they had about seven eight children between all the four couples that went that they use this casserole a lot because the children loved it it was easy for them to fix oh y'all it smells so good I just might have to eat some of this tonight the second go round so okay I'm gonna get my pan ready and we'll be right back okay now it's all mixed up now I want to explain what I'm doing here see this 10 pan well the reason it's going to that tonight this is going to go to some college boys that are studying for exams and they just thought it'd just be wonderful if they had something good and hot to eat well I don't want to take the chance that I won't get my casserole dish back I probably would but I'm not going to take that chance so I'm gonna put it in something that I don't have to worry about and they don't have to worry about so they can eat it and then they can just throw this throw this away so and I put it on a cookie sheet because it's gonna be a little bit heavy and these pans you have to be very careful with them because they will kind of fold up on you all I'll tell you we're thinking about that one night at the church we had a caterer bringing some food in was a man and he had he had one of those pans that was longer than this and he had it just by the edges I said sir you better be careful that thing will fold up on you oh I've been doing this all my life he said I can carry that thing in there just as he stepped inside the door of that thing vocal and guess what was in it gravy and it went everywhere I just stepped back [Music] okay we're gonna put this in the oven and I'm gonna set the timer on 15 minutes now what I'm gonna do at the end of 15 minutes I am going to put some cheese on top of it and that just kind of adds to the flavor I don't know it just you know how cheese is it just is good so um it's in there we're gonna let it cook 15 minutes I'll put the cheese on it then we'll cook it 15 more minutes now I don't know if y'all like me I'm kind of fascinated with the royal family and I watch a lot of that stuff I have you know on Facebook I have that thing that comes up that tells me what all I'm doing and the queen you know has just celebrated her birthday and so there's been a lot on there about that well it brought me to it reminded me of a time that we had when um you know they were fascinators well we call them has but I think fascinators is is pretty cool cool name for them so I had someone in my family that was that was getting married and the bride was from Ireland so all of her family was coming in for the wedding so we got there and everybody's going in to sit down in the family section you know so we sat down my son was down here and the rest of us are family here so part of the road in comes some of the Bronx family well they all had on these beautiful fascinators except the one that was sitting next to my son had this nice big long feather on it and y'all every time she moved her head that feather tickled to him well we got so tickled I mean we could hardly we could we could Harvest stay in the wedding to tell you the truth we just couldn't look at each other we just started looking straight forward and every time we looked Ken was like you know like that he was dodging the feather it was hilarious so that's just one of those things where you don't need to laugh but you are just about the bust so we'll be right back okay it's been 15 minutes y'all so what we're gonna do we're gonna pull this out we're gonna sprinkle this cheese and this is just sharp shredded cheese any brand will do this is the Walmart brand get this open sprinkle this all across the top yo this is so funny when we realized last night that this thing that the video wasn't going to post for some strange reason I thought oh my goodness what in the world well I've been with another casserole that big because trust me we ate the one last night every single bit of it and I guess I could have fixed the gold plates but then Kayleen my daughter helps my videography she said oh she said Graham and those are starting to drink sounds she said we can just take it to them I said oh perfect perfect so all right we're gonna set 15 more minutes now and let this cheese melt good and then we'll check it out okay time's up that's been 15 minutes so let's move out oh it smells good y'all might have to get a spoonful of this before we send it away oh that looks so good all right let me show you what it's going to look like now when these boys take it out ah oh my goodness y'all oh that smells so good and it looks so good I just want to thank you for all your kind comments and for your understanding that technology is something that we certainly cannot control we've learned that a long time ago but it proves itself more and more and so we've had problems from time to time but this time I mean they really did a sin so that's okay you know what we're gonna move them so I hope um that you have a wonderful rest of the day today we still have plenty of sunshine you can get outside I know these boys are gonna love this we're gonna send it up to them um and they can eat this while they are studying help maybe this will help their brain so anyway but anyway thank you so much for watching and um I hope you and your family have a good rest of the day and a good rest of the week and everybody Shine for Jesus
