Bacon Cheeseburger (Stove-Top) Casserole image

Who doesn't like bacon cheeseburgers? This is sooooo good and family friendly. PLUS, it's a whole meal in one pot! All 4 of my kids love it, as do me and my husband. It is kind of like "glorified hamburger helper" but you can tell it is from scratch! It's also quick and easy :) This recipe will serve 8, so you may want to half it for a smaller family...however, you probably will wish you hadn't because you will want leftovers!

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb uncooked pasta (rotini, rotelle, penne, small "or" medium shells, elbow) or 12 ounces egg noodles
2 lbs lean ground beef
1 lb bacon
1 small onions, chopped fine or 2 tablespoons minced dried onion
2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans condensed tomato soup
1 -2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
8 ounces shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese (I don't suggest using a milder cheese) or 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (I don't suggest using a milder cheese)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in salted water, drain, rinse and set aside.
  • Cook bacon in microwave or frying pan until crisp and set aside.
  • In a large skillet or deep fryer pan (I use a 12" diam. chicken fryer), brown ground beef and onion over medium heat.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper (I do this while my bacon is in the microwave and my pasta is cooking).
  • Drain any grease from beef.
  • Crumble bacon into beef and onion mixture.
  • Add tomato soup and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Add pasta and stir until coated and combined well.
  • Sprinkle cheddar cheese over the top and cover.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
  • Serve right out of the pan.
  • Enjoy!
  • (You may choose to 1/2 this recipe--we have a big family!).
