CASSEROLE (stove top / oven)



I will attempt to list both the regular recipe and if you doubled it(in parenthesis). I usually feed a lot of people or go for leftovers, so I almost always double the recipe.

Casserole ingredients and instructions.
Preheat oven to 375. But according to family members you can cook on stove top when all mixed, if you don't have an oven for example. Or you can try the Instantpot, but I do not have any conversion information on that at this time.
1 lb hamburger (2 lbs)
1 can corn (2 cans) or 1/2 bag-12 to 16 oz- frozen corn ( whole bag )
1/2 box / bag 16 oz elbow macaroni [small noodles not large] ( whole bag / box)
1-2 cans Campbells Tomato soup (3 to 4)
Water
Salt / Pepper to taste
**Extras you could add to hamburger when cooking or to add in when you mix and put in oven - onions or a little chili powder for example.


Cook ground hamburger till browned. Drain fat.

Cook elbow macaroni according to package directions. Drain.

Place hamburger, elbow macaroni, and corn in an over safe pot or casserole dish.

Put in tomato soup 1 can at a time and mix.

Add seasonings to taste. Mix.

Add about 1/2 can water ( 1/2 to 1 can) Mix.

Taste (delicious) if you need to.

Cover and place in oven for roughly about a half an hour or till heated. If you use stove top (which I haven't) probably till heated through, but make sure to stir to avoid burning.

*** Note- Whether you make a regular batch (or double it, in parenthesis), everything is to taste and what you have available to you. I will sometimes use a whole box of macaroni for the regular batch, to make it stretch and adjust the amount of tomato soup.

**** Serve with your favorite cornbread mix or bread
