How to make Cheeseburger Casserole:
I started with ground beef (or ground turkey) with onion and garlic. Then add seasoning and the best part, ketchup and mustard. These flavors actually make the recipe taste just like a cheeseburger! I added about 1/2 the cheese in with the cooked noodles and beef and mixed it until it was melted in and well combined.
Add it all to a casserole dish and just stick it all in the oven topped with more cheese of course. You only have to bake it all together for a few minutes. If you want a crispy or more browned cheese (instead of just melted) you can broiler it on high for 3-5 minutes.
In case you have any leftover Rotini:
Slow Cooker Cheesy Chicken Rotini: This one is a readers favorite. It’s so simple to make and one the entire family is going to love.
Italian Sausage and Peppers with Rotini: This one is a favorite of mine. It’s loaded with peppers and onions and the sausage gives it the perfect flavor.
Creamy Italian Chicken Rotini: This recipe is also made in the slow cooker. Creamy chicken seasoned with Italian seasoning and tossed with Rotini pasta.

Love this recipe? Pin it!!
This sounds delicious and I definitely want to make it. The recipe calls for 10 ounces of rotini but in a comments inquiry you said you used a 1 pound box. Which amount is correct? Looking forward to hearing back from you!
Hi Cindy sorry for any confusion. For this recipe you will just beed 10 oz.
Can you use a can of crushed tomatoes instead of you don’t have diced on hand?
Yea, that would totally be ok!
Made this and it was a super hit!
Changes = I added sliced pickles. Used ground turkey instead of beef.
Sounds great!
Is this freezer friendly? Seems like it should be just checking if anyone has done it?
Hi Amanda! Yes, this recipe can go into the freezer. Just prepare it in a freezer-safe dish. Allow it to cool and then cover and place it in the freezer. Hope you enjoy it!
We have a family of 6. How many does this serve. Trying to figure out if I need to increase ingredients to make enough for my family. Thank you so much!!!!
This feed our family of 4 with left overs (two adults and two kids). You should be able to get 6-8 1 cup servings. I served mine with veggies and a salad. I think it should work but just depends on how much everyone will want. Hope that helps Kelly and I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Do you drain the hamburger grease before adding other stuff?
Yes I do!
Just made this and it’s delicious!!!!! Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
So glad you enjoyed it!!
Can you make this in a crockpot?
I’m making it right now, but am wondering how much Rotini?!?!
Hi Lesli! So sorry that was not in the recipe, I used a 1 lb box for this recipe but you can adjust to fit the size crowd you are feeding. I hope you enjoy!
Hi this looks delicious, I do have a question, do the onions go in with the garlic, salt, pepper, etc… and also do you drain the diced tomatoes? Thanks so much can’t wait to try this 🙂
Hi Joann! Yes I buy my garlic already minced and I add it in with the rest! Also I did not drain the tomatoes! Hope that helps and it taste great for you!!
This looks amazing! My kind of dinner!
