Ingredients

- 1 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (about 12 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can (about 12 ounces) milk (use the empty soup can for measurement)
- 2 cups prepared macaroni and cheese (use your favorite recipe or a boxed version)
Instructions
-
Prepare the Macaroni and Cheese: Start by cooking the macaroni and cheese according to the instructions provided on the package or your chosen recipe. Set aside.
-
Cook the Ground Beef and Vegetables: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked and crumbly, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Once the beef is browned, drain any excess fat. Add the diced onion and chopped mushrooms to the skillet with the beef, and cook until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Combine Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large casserole dish, mix together the cooked ground beef, onions, mushrooms, cream of mushroom soup, and the milk. Stir the mixture until everything is well combined.
-
Add the Macaroni and Cheese: Gently fold the prepared macaroni and cheese into the beef and mushroom mixture, making sure it is evenly distributed. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
-
Bake: Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the top is golden brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Enjoy this hearty dish as a comforting dinner that’s sure to please everyone at the table.
