How To Make cheeseburger casserole

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Step 2

Start browning your ground beef in a large pot over medium heat. After 2-3 minutes add the onion and continue cooking until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Add the garlic, cayenne, and crushed red pepper. Cook for 1 minute stirring continuously.
Step 3

Add the ketchup, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, and beef broth. Bring it to a low boil. Add the pasta and cover the pot cooking the pasta until it is tender. Remove from the heat and stir in half of the cheese.
Step 4

Meanwhile in a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, marjoram, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss in the bun cubes and stir gently to coat. Place the croutons on a parchment covered baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy.
Step 5

Spoon the pasta into a large deep 9×13 casserole dish, top with the remaining cheese, and sprinkle with the croutons. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is heated through.
