How To Make Amish Country Casserole?
Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish so nothing sticks.
Step 2: Cook the Noodles
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them and set them aside.
Step 3: Brown the Beef
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain off the grease—nobody wants an oily casserole.
Step 4: Mix Up the Sauce
In a large bowl, whisk together the tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, garlic, and onion flakes. This is where the magic happens—it’s creamy, savory, and full of cozy flavors.
Step 5: Combine Everything
Want To Save This Recipe?
Add the cooked beef and drained noodles to the sauce mixture. Stir well so every bite is coated in that rich, creamy goodness.
Step 6: Assemble & Bake
Pour everything into your prepared baking dish. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for a light golden crust.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is hot, bubbly, and lightly browned on top.
Step 7: Dig In!
Let it cool for just a few minutes (if you can wait!), then serve it up. Expect clean plates and requests for seconds.
Storage Options:
One of the best things about this casserole? Leftovers are just as good (if not better) the next day.
- Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- Freeze: Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
- Reheat: Microwave in 30-second bursts or bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until heated through.
Pro Tip: If reheating from frozen, add a splash of milk to keep it from drying out.
Variations and Substitutions:
Want to switch things up? Here are some fun variations:
- Swap the Meat – Try ground turkey, shredded chicken, or even crumbled sausage.
- Cheesy Upgrade – Stir shredded cheddar or mozzarella into the sauce for extra gooeyness.
- Add Some Veggies – Peas, mushrooms, or bell peppers add color and texture.
- Make it Spicy – A dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes kicks it up a notch.
- Crunchy Topping – Mix buttered breadcrumbs with the Parmesan before baking for a crispy, golden top.
Pro Tip: Sauté fresh onions and garlic instead of using flakes for an even richer flavor.
What to Serve with Amish Country Casserole?
This casserole is a one-dish meal, but if you want to round it out, here’s what pairs perfectly with it:
- A Fresh Green Salad – Something crisp and light balances out the richness.
- Garlic Bread – Because carbs + carbs = happiness.
- Steamed or Roasted Veggies – Green beans, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus work great.
- Coleslaw or Pickles – The tanginess cuts through the creamy sauce beautifully.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I use a different pasta?
Yep! Rotini, penne, or even elbow macaroni work just fine.
What if I don’t have Worcestershire sauce?
You can swap it for soy sauce or balsamic vinegar—different, but still delicious.
Can I make this in a slow cooker?
Yes! Brown the beef first, then mix everything in a slow cooker and cook on low for 4-5 hours or high for 2-3 hours.
This Amish Country Casserole is warm, hearty, cheesy, and ridiculously easy. Whether you’re feeding a hungry family, prepping meals for the week, or just need something cozy and delicious, this dish never disappoints.
