It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day hustle and bustle of life. Too often I’m tempted to just order a pizza or run through the drive-thru window on my way home. However, I’ve found that having a handful of simple, easy recipes on hand makes the idea of making dinner a lot less daunting. And this scrumptious cheeseburger casserole definitely fits the bill.

Not only is this casserole a crowd-pleaser, you can also change it up depending on your mood and ingredients on hand. For example, add green chile for an extra kick of spice and flavor or top your casserole with ketchup and mustard to really create that classic cheeseburger taste sans bun.

Another thing I love about this cheeseburger casserole is that it tastes great the next day as leftovers. You can also pop a few servings in the freezer to have as lunches the following week. That’s a win-win in my book.

Try out this recipe and you’ll see how both easy and delicious it truly is. I guarantee it will become a staple in your weekly dinner menu rotation. Hooray for simple, yummy meals!
