Hamburger Hotdish

Did you grow up on casseroles and hotdish recipes? I know our family sure did living in the country! Over the years I have steered somewhat clear of the comfort food, but over time I find myself craving them every now and again. As an adult I typically like to lighten them up, like this Light Turkey Noodle Casserole or Light Cheesy Chicken Sausage & Rice Casserole.

Sometimes you are just craving something hearty and comforting from your childhood and that is when a dinner like Baked Meatballs or Cheesy Sour Cream Hamburger Hotdish sounds like perfection!

Hotdish Recipes

If you are looking for balance but still want to give this hearty casserole a try, you could certainly pair it with a salad like this Apple Slaw Salad or some veggies like Roasted Caesar Asparagus. Everything in moderation is my motto!

This hamburger hotdish recipe certainly isn’t lacking in the richness department though. Ground beef is mixed with sour cream and cream cheese along with some veggies and egg noodles. It is topped with cheese for a deliciously rich dish the whole family will love!

Quite frankly, if you are looking for a light and healthy dish though, you are looking in the wrong place today. 😉 (See the healthy recipe archives for that!) I won’t judge you for passing up on this delicious hot dish if it doesn’t fit in your diet, but I promise you are missing out! Save this recipe for a cheat day and all will be right.

This hotdish brings back memories of childhood. Growing up on the farm my mother made hotdish every other night. Alternated with pot roast of course and an occasional lasagna if we were really lucky.

How to make Hamburger Hotdish

To make this simple hotdish, get started by sautéing the hamburger in a large skillet over medium-high heat while breaking it up with a meat chopper. Add the onion, sweet bell pepper, garlic and salt and cook for 5 minutes until the hamburger is cooked through. Stir the pasta sauce into the meat.

In a separate bowl, microwave the cream cheese until softened. Mix the cream cheese, sour cream, Parmesan and cooked egg noodles in a greased 9×13 pan. Mix in the hamburger mixture, just until combined.

Top the hot dish with the shredded cheddar and Italian seasoning. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes, or until the hotdish is heated through. Serve up with some garlic butter swim biscuits for a hearty and comforting meal.
