Amish Casserole Ingredients
- Pasta - rotini pasta
- Oil - canola oil
- Onion - sweet onion, diced
- Garlic - cloves, minced
- Ground beef
- Season-All seasoning
- Tomato soup
- Cream of mushroom soup
- Milk - whole milk
- Paprika
- Parsley - dried parsley
The soup is an important part of this casserole dish, and using a good quality condensed soup will make a noticeable difference in the finished flavor. However, you can switch out the types of soups used. You could use cream of chicken soup or cream of celery in place of either the mushroom or tomato soups.
Don’t have rotini on hand? This dish works well with other noodles including wide egg noodles, macaroni, shells, or whatever you have handy. When you are cooking your pasta al dente is the ideal consistency. The pasta will be tender but will still have a slightly firm texture when you bite into it.
For a creamier finished casserole, you can mix in a dollop of sour cream or mix in some cheddar cheese before baking. Add a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top of the casserole right before you are ready to serve it. For a bit of spice, you might add a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeño peppers.
How to Make Amish Casserole
FIRST STEP: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
SECOND STEP: Cook pasta as instructed, drain, and set aside.
THIRD STEP: In a large skillet (12-inch or bigger), add the canola oil, diced onions, and bell peppers. Cook until translucent.
FOURTH STEP: Add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.
FIFTH STEP: Add the ground beef and Season-All seasoning. Cook until no pink remains.
SIXTH STEP: Drain the excess fluid from the skillet. Add to the pot with the pasta and mix.
SEVENTH STEP: Add the tomato soup, the mushroom soup, and the milk. Combine well.
EIGHTH STEP: Pour into a lightly greased 9x13 dish and sprinkle the paprika and parsley.
NINTH STEP: Cook in the oven, uncovered, for 25 minutes (until bubbling at the sides)
TENTH STEP: Remove and serve immediately with garlic bread.
Can I use cream of chicken soup?
Yes, the dish is flexible and you can swap either soup for something different. Try using cream of chicken soup or cream of celery in place of either the mushroom or tomato soup. Just make sure to get a good quality condensed soup.
Can I use a different pasta?
This casserole can be served with a variety of different noodles. It works well with egg noodles, macaroni, shells, or whatever you have handy.
Can I use ground chicken?
Yes, ground chicken, ground pork, or ground turkey would all work well in place of ground beef in this recipe.
