  • Only cook the pasta until al dente. The pasta will continue to cook while baking in the oven. 
  • Browning the ground chuck before adding to the casserole helps to render any excess fat in the meat and also helps to cook the meat evenly. It’s great for adding overall flavor to the casserole as well. 
  • Once you’ve browned the ground beef, drain any excess fat. This will prevent the assembled hamburger casserole from being too greasy.

  • Add some fresh herbs and spices to this casserole, such as oregano, basil, thyme, paprika, or cumin. You could also add cayenne pepper and red chili flakes for a kick of heat.
