Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole is full of macaroni, American cheese, bacon, and ground beef and flavored with a little ketchup, mustard, and dill pickles. It may sound a little strange, but it is crazy delicious!

I was a little unsure I would like this casserole. It took me back to the days as a child when I would play in the kitchen and mix all kinds of things together. But I yummed it up. It’s like a cheeseburger and mac and cheese combined together in one glorious casserole.

It’s a family-friendly weeknight dinner and it reheats well.

It turns a pound of ground beef into a casserole that can easily feed a family of six.

Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

The combination of ground beef, pasta, bacon and cheese makes this casserole pure comfort food. I love how creamy American cheese is when it melts. There’s melted American cheese in the casserole itself, and a thick layer on top for lots of cheesiness.

It tastes even better dressed up with a little shredded iceberg lettuce, tomato slices, and dill pickle chips. One bite, and you’ll see that it is completely addictive. Your kids will love it.

Recipe Tips

You can make this Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole spicy by adding 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. No need to Serve anything else with this casserole. It’s totally filling on its own and with iceberg lettuce and tomato slices, you get your veggies too.
