I had my doubts about what this would taste like when I started it but I just had to try it. I added a few more spices to it and this will be going into my rotation of things I’d make again. Those are even dill pickles on top. They actually helped pull the whole thing together. I bet your kids will love this dish!

This cheeseburger casserole is real easy to make, I browned the ground beef and onions on the stove and added it to the crock pot with the tomatoes and spices. I let it cook on high for 3 1/2 hours and then added the cooked noodles in. 15 minutes later I added the cheese and pickles. When the cheese is all melted it is ready to dive into. Don’t skip the pickles!

    What can I use in place of the tomatoes & the mustard in the crockpot cheeseburger casserole

    Reply

      I guess you could try beef or chicken broth in place of the tomatoes. I’d just omit the mustard if you don’t like it. That’s my best suggestions but it will change it significantly.

    I noticed the last ingredient is “3/4 cup diced dill pepper”. Based on all the comments, I take it that is that supposed to be dill pickles?

    When it says cook for 3 1/2 hours. What heat level are you meaning?
    I don’t know exactly what to set my crock pot on…first time ever using one!

    • Mary Ellen says

      March 27, 2017 at 12:01 pm

      I usually cook on Low. If the time is for 8 hours use low. If you want to do it faster cook on High for 4 hours. Hope you enjoy it!

      Wow this is really good! I made this in the Instant Pot by sautéing the meat and onions first, then adding all the other ingredients (including the pasta) and adding some chicken broth (that’s all I had in the cabinet), just enough to cover the pasta. Set it on high pressure for 10 min and quick release. Mixed in the cheese afterwards and topped with the pickles.

        I’ll have to try my pressure cooker. Thanks for letting me know. I have yet to cook pasta in mine yet.
