Hamburger Noodle Bake is such a satisfying and scrumptious comfort meal! The garlic, sour cream, and cream of chicken soup combine to create a creamy mix that absorbs into the ground beef while the corn kernels and panko bread crumbs add a nice crunchy texture. Yum!

Leftovers, anyone?

We never seem to have leftovers when this dish is on the menu. And each time we make it, we increase the size of the recipe to ensure we have leftovers for lunch the next day but it never really seems to work out that way. We obviously have very little self=control and I think it speaks volumes as to how much we really, really love this recipe!

How to make Hamburger Noodle Bake:

You will love the simplicity of this recipe! I wish I would have had access to recipes like this when I was a single mom many, many years ago. I stuck to convenience and recipes I knew I couldn’t mess up for fear of wasting food and the three of us going to bed hungry that night.

This recipe, however, is one I don’t believe I could have messed up even if I tried. And it’s a dish my picky toddlers (at the time) would have loved too! My now adult, college-age kids can’t get enough.

Let’s get started …

First, cook your pasta according to the package directions. The pasta I choose cooks for about 11 minutes. So this gave me plenty of time to brown the beef and prepare the sauce while the noodles cook.

While the pasta is cooking on the stove, drop your ground beef into a large skillet and brown over medium heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. If it is sticking a little, you can add a tiny bit of olive oil and continue stirring.

Next, add in the onions and garlic. Mix well into the ground beef. Once the onions and garlic have softened and the meat has browned and cooked all the way through, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and seasoned salt. Taste test to obtain the desired seasoned flavor.

Drain the fat from the pan.

After the fat has been drained, stir in the condensed cream of chicken soup, whole kernel sweet corn, milk, and sour cream.

Combine the ingredients with the ground beef then test the flavors with a few nibbles. Season as necessary.

Check the pasta’s time left to cook. Drain the noodles and set to the side.

Stir in the cooked pasta and mix well.

Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray and then spoon in the mixture. Level it out with the back of the spoon.

Sprinkle the panko bread crumbs over the top followed by the slices of butter.

Bake in a 350 degree pre-heated oven for about 45 minutes or until the butter has melted and browned the bread crumbs.

Top with sprinkles of dried parsley, serve, and enjoy!

What can you serve with Hamburger Noodle Bake?

Really, you don’t need to serve anything with this dish because you’ve got your protein, veggies, and carbs covered but you can’t go wrong with a side salad or additional vegetables like green beans, broccoli, and cauliflower. Even a loaf of french bread, buttery dinner rolls, or baked breadsticks would be yummy too!

How to store Hamburger Noodle Bake leftovers:

Assuming you have any leftovers, you can easily store them in a smaller airtight container and transfer to the refrigerator. Or … scoop the rest to a plate or bowl, cover with foil or plastic wrap, and refrigerate. Be sure to eat within two days.

To reheat, simply place in a microwave-safe container then top with another plate or bowl to add moisture during the heating process and to ensure the leftovers do not dry out. Cook times will depend on your microwave so cook for just a minute or two at a time until you reach your desired temperature.

To reheat in the oven, place in an oven-safe dish, cover with foil, and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes – or until it has reheated all the way through to the middle of the dish.

Can you freeze Hamburger Noodle Bake for another day?

You can but I don’t recommend it. This dish is best served straight from the oven or within 1 to 2 days from the refrigerator. The sour cream breaks down a bit in the freezer and it just never seems to have the same great texture as it does from the oven. So, fresh is best with this dish!
