Amish Country Casserole is a hearty baked dish with ground beef, creamy soups, egg noodles, and a cheesy, crunchy topping—simple, filling, and full of comfort.
Ingredients
For the Casserole:
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of tomato soup
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- 8 oz egg noodles cooked and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
For the Topping:
- ½ cup crushed buttery crackers like Ritz
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley optional
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onions for 5–7 minutes until the beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain the grease.
- Stir in minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and dried thyme. Cook for 1–2 more minutes to let the flavors come together.
- In a large bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, cream of tomato soup, milk, and sour cream until smooth.
- Add cooked egg noodles and shredded cheddar cheese to the skillet with the beef. Pour in the sauce and mix everything until evenly coated.
- Transfer the mixture to your greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.
- Mix crushed buttery crackers with melted butter in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
- Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until bubbly and golden brown on top. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley (optional) and serve hot.
