0:00
- Okay, y'all, how many of y'all like quick family dinners?
0:06
I do. Michael raised his hand.
0:08
I think Theresa kind of raised her hand.
0:11
Eddie raised his hand (laughing).
0:15
and that's what I'm gonna share with y'all tonight,
0:16
a cheeseburger casserole.
0:19
So, I have dropped a pound of ground beef
0:28
and I'm going to toss in my onions,
0:37
and I'm gonna let that cook.
0:42
And then if it's got a lot of fat in it,
0:43
I'm gonna drain that off,
0:45
but hopefully it won't have a lot of fat,
0:50
I like to kind of leave my ground beef a little chunky.
0:55
You know, I don't like to just
1:02
where you can't tell you got a piece of meat.
1:05
Okay, so I'm gonna turn that up a little bit now
1:09
and get that pot to going.
1:20
and they're right here.
1:23
I have them over here in the colander draining,
1:26
and they're just an egg noodle, y'all.
1:32
And that's gonna be the starch
1:35
to our cheeseburger casserole.
1:39
So, this is really going to take on the flavors of, like,
1:42
a baked spaghetti or something like that.
1:53
Now, after I add our can of tomatoes,
1:57
you're supposed to let this simmer for like 15 minutes.
2:02
We may bypass that (laughing).
2:07
We may speed this family dinner up.
2:11
All right, I'm gonna add a little salt,
2:18
and there again, you know, put what you like.
2:22
If you'd rather have celery than bell pepper,
2:32
Oh, this looks so good.
2:44
I got that baby blowing.
2:50
Now when that's done browning,
2:55
a 14-ounce can of diced tomatoes.
3:03
And I don't think we're going to have to drain this, y'all,
3:07
'cause that was some lean hamburger meat.
3:13
So, we're just going to let that bell pepper and onion
3:16
get a little bit more tender.
3:19
(ingredients sizzling)
3:32
Y'all think it's tender enough?
3:41
So this is the point we'd want to let it simmer
3:44
for about 15 minutes.
3:49
Looks very, very good.
3:52
All right, now I'm gonna add some Worcestershire sauce.
3:58
That looks like about a tablespoon,
4:01
and then I'm gonna add a teaspoon of oregano.
4:09
So that's what makes it come into that kind of
4:23
Okey-doke, can you get over there, Eddie,
4:25
and see that our cooking?
4:29
(ingredients sizzling)
5:01
- [Eddie] Smells good.
5:03
- It does, it smells real good.
5:11
is to add our egg noodles
5:18
We're gonna throw these over in the pot.
5:22
This is really one of those easy, easy,
5:26
quick family dinners, y'all,
5:28
and you know, it's something that all the kids will eat.
5:36
And if they're starving,
5:37
they can get them up a bowl,
5:41
and put it in the microwave, and
5:51
We are ready, now as for, oo, ouch!
5:55
Now, I've sprayed this pan with
6:07
and I'm just gonna pour this
6:09
into our prepared pan.
6:14
And this is one of those dishes, y'all,
6:15
that'll just get better
6:27
And then we're gonna put two cups,
6:31
of chop, charp cheese (laughs)
6:37
Sometimes these new teeth get me (laughs).
6:48
So, we're gonna bake this for about 15 minutes, y'all,
6:53
just long enough for that cheese to melt.
6:59
I believe we could have used almost three cups of cheese.
7:04
Okay, in the oven for 15 minutes,
7:08
that, and maybe some (laughing).
7:11
I'm having a time here today.
7:13
No, I don't drink. I'm not drinking.
7:16
So, a nice French bread and a little salad,
7:21
and you're home free.
7:24
So, in the oven 15 minutes.
7:27
- [Production Crew] Yeah (indistinct).
7:34
- And that won't take long because everything was hot.
7:39
It was piping hot that we put in there,
7:41
so it won't take but a few minutes.
7:43
All right (laughing).
7:45
That was a quick 15 minutes, y'all.
7:51
I lost some of my cheese, I think (laughing).
7:55
I want what's rightly mine,
7:58
what's rightfully mine (laughing).
8:01
Like I said, I think I would
8:04
have been more happy if I'd had
8:05
one more cup of cheese to go on it.
8:13
I think this'll be making some little happy campers happy.
8:29
It's really good, y'all.
8:36
You know, there's no foo-foo about it.
8:43
And I think your children are gonna love it (laughs).
8:51
And there's a good chance that you have
8:52
all these ingredients in your pantry.
8:59
I got to quit eating 'cause that's definitely
9:01
tonight's supper (laughs).
9:05
Love and best dishes! (laughing)
