I have a recipe called hamburger helper
1 pound hamburger
1 cup hot water
2 cups milk
1 1/2 cup elbow macaroni
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
sauce packet
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar
Brown meat, drain, add hot water, milk, pasta & sauce packet..boil, cover, reduce heat. Simmer for 12 minutes or till tender.
Last few minutes of cook time add cheese, stir and re-cover.
Let set for 5 minutes uncovered….then eat.
What do you use as the sauce packet? Thank you Karen.
I’m not sure what you mean as a sauce packet Wendy because neither recipe calls for a sauce packet unless you are talking about the tomato sauce and that comes in a can and usually is where you find the jars of spaghetti sauce.
Karen’s recipe for hamburger helper has sauce packet listed in both the ingredients and the directions. Maybe the elbow macaroni and sauce packet were from a box of mac & cheese? Both of these recipes sound good.
Brown meat, drain, add hot water, milk, pasta & sauce packet.
That is what Karen says in her recipe.
sauce packet
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar
what do you use as “american cheese”?…..Is it that processed stuff? thanks.
American cheese is a type of cheese the same why you have cheddar, swiss etc.
Mary, if you don’t want to use the processed American cheese food, you could use real cheddar cheese. That’s what I use when I make this .
It is a softer smoother Cheddar type cheese, like Velveeta in a block or you can buy slices and now you can buy shredded Velveeta cheese. Technically is it not a cheese but a cheese food. I have the recipe to make your own Velveeta if anyone is interested, let me know.
I’d love to know Nancy
On the 6 cups of cooked macaroni. Is that 6 cups before you cook it or after? BC 6 cups of uncooked macaroni then cooked would be a lot of mac.
Well it says 6 cups “cooked” macaroni so that’s after. 🙂
I am so eager to try everyone of these recipes for burger casseroles. I hope hubby is ready for lots of burger meals LOL LOL LOL. Just kidding. All sound amazing. Thanks!!!!
Lol Marilyn. I think he will enjoy them.
A couple of these look promising for making up in single portions and freezing for this single gal
A classic potato hamburger casserole is “shipwreck”. It uses RAW hamburger – cooking the raw hamburger with the potatoes & rice gives them a really beefy flavor.
1 large onion, sliced
2 large potatoes, peeled and sliced
1 lb ground beef, uncooked
1/2 cup rice, uncooked
1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup carrots, sliced
1 can tomato or cream soup
1 soup can water
green onions, sliced, for garnish, optional
salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F.
In a large casserole dish, layer onions, potatoes and ground beef. Sprinkle rice over ground beef. Top with celery and carrots. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, stir together soup and water. Pour evenly into casserole dish. Cover with aluminum foil.
Bake for 1 hour and half. Let cool about 10 minutes before serving.
thank for these Tawra. They are helpful since I’m cooking from my freezer… thanks also for yesterdays video on using what you have. I’m focusing on making quick breads for breakfast from the large of cake mixes I have, rather than use my own flour, sugar, etc. People are still overbuying here and not leaving any food for anyone else. Very disappointing. Hoping you and your mom and whole family stay well!
These all look delicious, and I can’t wait to try them with our venison from the freezer!
How long do you have to bake the Amish hamburger casserole?
For most casseroles where the ingredients(like the pasta, meat etc.) I usually cook them about 30 mins. or until all the cheeses are nice and melted. They aren’t something you need to worry about too much. I will sometimes even turn my temperature down to 250 and let them cook for an hour to allow all of the spices and flavors to blend even more.
I made the quick and easy hamburger casserole today, it’s really good. I had some French fried onions I needed to get rid of, so I added them on top. It would have been great with or without them though. I look forward to trying more of ya’lls recipes.
Thank you Alice. That is one of my go to recipes and I bet it was really good with the French fried onions on it.
I have to cut the Potato hamburger casserole in half. I only cook for 4 (there is 2 of us and we like leftovers) and use a 8 x 8 pan
Would I need to cut the time also?
Also, I would love to add the Dried French onions on top for the additional 5 mins.
You can shorten a little but what I would do the first time you bake it is 45 mins. test the potatoes with a fork and if they are getting tender then take the foil off and finish baking until totally tender. Be sure to write down how long it took then you will know the next time you bake it how long to cook.
Mexican Hambirgaer Casserole was delicious.

Thank You so much Tawra for this low-carb recipe!! Lately, I’ve been making it at least a few times a month and it’s just delicious. Thank you so much! Love your cookbooks, and I love the fact that I save time and money with your recipes.
You are so welcome Marcia. It has been one of my family’s favorites – especially with the kids.
Hi,
On your “Potato Hamburger Casserole Recipe”,
How thick or thin do you slice them?
Hi Sheri, You can slice the potatoes in any thickness you want. I usually slice them between medium and thin. Enjoy!
