Recipe from Betty Crocker

Quick & Easy Cheeseburger Bake

by Mary Neumann · Leave a Comment · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s tried and true is a fantastic comfort food recipe that’s simple to adapt to your taste and will have kids (and adults) begging for more – Quick & Easy Cheeseburger Bake! This is another budget-friendly family favorite from Betty Crocker. A simple to make casserole calling for just a few ingredients and on the table in under an hour.

QUICK & EASY CHEESEBURGER BAKE – If you’re a cheeseburger fan, this casserole is for you! This kid-friendly dish is a hearty meal the whole family will love. Garnish with your favorite cheeseburger toppings – ketchup, mustard, pickles and more. The leftovers are great too – if there is any left.

The recipe calls for Bisquick, ground beef, onion, condensed cheddar cheese soup, frozen mixed vegetables, milk and water. What’s great about this recipe, you can adapt it to your taste, lightly seasoning the beef with your favorite burger seasonings. As for the veggies, I use mushrooms instead of mixed vegetables – we are a mushroom and onion cheeseburger family. If you read the reviews on Betty Crocker, people love the veggies in the casserole, kids included.

Mushroom and Onion Cheeseburger Bake Casserole

I saute the onion and mushrooms in a little butter until the onions are translucent, then I add the ground beef.

I like to serve the cheeseburger bake with french fries and a side salad.

Note: This is not a sponsored post, I have no affiliation with Betty Crocker, I am just a lifelong fan.

Quick & Easy Cheeseburger Bake

Ingredients

1 pound lean ground beef (at least 80%) I use 93% lean
3/4 cup chopped onion
1 can (11 ounces) condensed Cheddar cheese soup (or make your own)
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (I used 8 ounces of fresh sliced mushrooms instead of mixed vegetables)
1/4 cup milk
2 cups Original Bisquick mix (or make your own)
3/4 cup water
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Grease a 9×13 casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In a 10 or 12 inch skillet, cook beef and onion over medium to medium-high heat, breaking up beef, cooking until beef is brown and onions are translucent – when ready drain fat/liquid. Next, add cheddar cheese soup, *mixed vegetables and milk, stir until mixed well.

In a medium size bowl add Bisquick and water, mix well. Pour mixture into greased baking dish and spread evenly. Spoon beef evenly over Bisquick mixture and then top with cheddar cheese.

Bake on middle rack of oven uncovered for 30 minutes.

Serve with your favorite cheeseburger condiments – ketchup, mustard, pickles and more, side salad and french fries…enjoy!

Tips

*I replace the mixed vegetables with 8 ounces fresh sliced mushrooms. I saute the onions and mushrooms in a little butter until the onions are translucent, then I add the ground beef.
You can easily adapt the beef to your taste, adding more flavor, using your favorite hamburger seasonings.

Quick and Easy Ground Beef Stroganoff

by Mary Neumann · 2 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s tried and true recipe is a quick and easy version of a family favorite – Beef Stroganoff!

GROUND BEEF STROGANOFF – A delicious shortcut version for Beef Stroganoff that uses ground beef (hamburger) for a quick, easy twist on an old school classic. Dinner can be on the table in about 30 minutes, delivering a comforting, hearty meal the whole family will love.

This recipe is from Betty Crocker and was a big hit with my family. Even my daughter’s friends loved this dish. There were no leftovers! I love that it was such a cinch to make and I was able to deliver this classic, shortcut recipe in about 30 minutes.

This recipe was not pretty to photograph – please don’t let the photos fool you, this is a great recipe.

I followed the recipe to a T. Well, that’s not exactly true, I had portabella mushrooms I cut into bite size pieces, not baby portabella – other than that, no changes.

Serve over egg noodles.

Great Reviews!

This recipe has a lot of great reviews on Betty Crocker. What I love about beef stroganoff, it’s easy to adapt to your taste. A couple reviews stated it was a bit bland, which is easy to solve (I did not find it bland). If you know you like a lot of garlic, add more and so on. When I make classic Beef Stroganoff I always add red wine. The next time I make this, I plan to add about 1/4 to 1/3 cup. I’ll be sure to update this post, letting you know the results. The recipe is already great as written.

Baked Macaroni & Cheese – Five Star Recipe

by Mary Neumann · Leave a Comment · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s tried and true is a fantastic Mac & Cheese recipe from the food blog, Basil and Bubbly – a five star recipe!

BEST-EVER BAKED MACARONI & CHEESE (FIVE STAR RECIPE) – This is one of the BEST Mac & Cheese recipes I have made to date. This Southern style recipe is rich, super cheesy and creamy, stick-to-your bones good. This is sure to be a hit during the holidays, but a dish you’ll want to make year round! Simple to make, so darn good.

My daughter asked me to make Mac & Cheese for her “Friendsgiving” party this week. Mac and cheese has been on our Thanksgiving menu for almost ten years. One year my sister made her famous mac and cheese, since then it’s THE side dish my family looks forward to every holiday season. For this to-die-for, and a bit fancy ($$$) mac & cheese recipe (made with penne, Gruyere, Asiago, sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheese), head to Family Circle.

For my daughter’s party, I wanted to try a new recipe I pinned on Pinterest, it has tons of rave reviews – over 75 comments and photos.

Read rave reviews for this Five Star Mac & Cheese Recipe on Pinterest!

For the Friendsgiviing party, I sent a 9×13 baking dish loaded with the yummy goodness.

MY REVIEW – Five stars, you’ll want to add this one to the recipe box! I made a double batch, saving a small 9×9 baking dish for our family. I love that this recipe can be made ahead and baked the next day – perfect for parties and holidays.

I saved a 9×9 baking dish to bake and serve the next day.

Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies

by Mary Neumann · 2 Comments · Disclosure/Disclaimer · Privacy Policy

Today’s tried and true recipe is an awesome autumn treat, Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies!

Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies – These delightful pumpkin cookies are sure to become a family favorite – perfectly soft, absolutely delicious and so easy to make. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed. These are the BEST cookies for fall!

This cookie recipe is from Very Best Baking by Nestle (this is NOT a sponsored post). I had a can of Libby’s Pure Pumpkin and wanted to make cookies – a quick google search and I found a winning recipe!

What You Need

What you need for the cookies – flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, salt, sugar, butter, pure pumpkin, egg and pure vanilla extract.

What you need for the glaze – powdered sugar, milk, butter and pure vanilla extract.

To Make

Preheat oven to 350 degrees f. then grease baking sheet(s). In a medium size bowl, add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt – mix well.

In a separate large bowl, mix/beat butter and sugar until blended well, then add pumpkin, egg and vanilla, mix until batter is smooth.

Slowly add flour mixture to the pumpkin batter, mixing until just blended. Do not over mix.

Drop rounded tablespoon size cookie dough on baking sheet (I used a Pampered Chef medium size scooper). Bake on middle rack of oven for approximately 15 – 18 minutes, until the edges of the cookies turn a slight golden brown and are firm.

Remove from oven, cool for a few minutes on baking sheet, then move cookies to cooling rack to finish cooling.

For Glaze – Sift powdered sugar then add melted butter, milk and vanilla in a small bowl – mix until smooth.

Once cookies are cooled completely, drizzle glaze on top. Do not drizzle glaze over cookies until cookies are cool.

Recipe made 32 cookies using my medium Pampered Chef scooper.

Not only are these cookies fantastic, a huge hit with family and my daughter’s friends – they made my house smell amazing!!
