Zippy Beef Casserole

With this recipe I would use chopped onion instead of instant minced. I would also add chopped garlic and maybe some dried parsley flakes. I don't think 40 minutes will be necessary though. I usually cook casseroles like this for around 20-25 minutes. Comment if you can think of any other add ins or variations that might be good.

Servings: 6


1 pound ground beef
4 ounces uncooked elbow macaroni
1 can (10.75 ounce size) cream of mushroom soup, condensed
3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup ketchup
1/2 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
2 tablespoons instant minced onion
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup crushed potato chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook and stir meat until brown; drain off fat. Cook macaroni as directed on package; drain. In ungreased 2 qt. casserole, mix all ingredients, except potato chips.
Cover, bake 40 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle with crushed potato chips and bake 5 minutes longer.
