I modified this from one of the Mennonite cookbooks my mother has and made it so much that I've committed it to memory. This is a delicious way to use on hand ingredients to make a whole lot when the cupboards are bare. The recipe makes 4 to 6 servings, but I've found that two or three people can completely devour it with not a morsel leftover.

How To Make mennonite hamburger cassarole

  • Step 1
    Heat broiler to high. Move oven rack to top section. Broil red bell pepper about 1-2 minutes in each side, until roasted. Remove from oven and let pepper steam in a brown paper lunch bag for five minutes. Carefully remove loose skin and slice into rings. Set aside.
  • Step 2
    Heat oven to 375. Brow ground beef and onions together until onions are tender and beef is no longer pink. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Step 3
    Stir in corn and undrained tomatoes until throughly mixed. Heat through on medium high, about five minutes. Stir in flour and butter and bring to a boil. Lower heat, and let simmer about fifteen minutes. Mixture should thicken.
  • Step 4
    Pour into 8in square cassarole dish. Top with red pepper rings. Bake, uncovered, for 30 mins. Let cool a bit before serving, as mixture will be very hot.
