Mrs. Geraldine's Ground Beef Casserole

Recipe #75302 | 2¼ hours | 1½ hours prep | add private note

This recipe came from a local church fund raising cook book. Mrs. Geraldine is a good friend of the family. She reminds me so much of Mrs. Clause, that I can't help but smile every time I think of her. This recipe freezes well. Do not bake before freezing. Just put it together, freeze it, thaw it and cook.

SERVES 6 -8 , 1 large casserole (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Brown meat in large skillet or Dutch oven.

  4. 4

This was very good- worth the time. I didn't have all of the cheddar cheese this recipe required- so I improvised. I topped the casserole with American slices first, and then used about a cup of Mexican three cheese blend, and finished it off with shredded parm. It was really good, and I think thats how I'll make it every time! Thanks for posting!

    I have been wanting to make this for about a year now, I made this last night. We all very much enjoyed this although next time I will cut back to one tablespoon of the brown sugar as we don't really care for sweet. But I will add this into our monthly rotation. Thanks for a wonderful recipe

    Now I know what all the fuss is about! This is total comfort food. My DH inhaled 2 large plate fulls and I was ordered to amke this again. I read all the reviews and from them I took this with me before preparing it. I broke the pasta into thirds before cooking them. I used brown sugar instead of pickle juice. I left out the mushrooms (so the kids would eat it) and after I had all but the cheese layered, I took a spatula and gently went into the noodles so some sauce would seep down. The results were fantastic! Another must try Zaar recipe!

    Thank you Jellyqueen and Mrs. Geraldine! This was a wonderful casserole. I used a bit more ground beef.. probably about a pound and a half. Also, I didn't have any angel hair pasta so I used spaghetti. My can of tomatoes was 28 ounces, but it all worked out very well. The only other thing I did differently was to add a bit of fresh garlic when I was browning the meat! The end result was absolutely delicious and I'll certainly be making it again!
