There are casseroles that are time-intensive and totally from scratch and then there are casseroles that take a few basic ingredients and quickly combine them in a way that somehow makes them even better, even more comforting. This Hamburger Supreme Casserole is more of the latter, the type of cozy casserole that families have been turning to for decades when they want something easy and sure to be delicious. It’s humble, but it always hits the spot.

It’s a hearty casserole – there’s macaroni and ground beef, tender canned mushrooms and plenty of melty cheddar and it’s all tucked into a creamy and flavorful base.

Since this relies on cream of mushroom soup for much of its creaminess, you don’t have to build a sauce, per se. You just brown up the ground beef and onions and then stir in the mushrooms, soup, and some milk. It’s a quick and convenient sauce, but most importantly it’s really yummy!
