Make Ahead Italian Delight


I'm not sure where I got this recipe. I just had it in a stack of recipes that I wanted to try. To be honest, I was a little hesitant to make it. I'm not a lover of hamburger helper type of stuff. My husband, on the other hand, goes crazy over anything with meat and corn it it, so I decided to try it. It's super easy and quick to make, and the ingredients are usually things you have on hand. (We bought a cow this last year with some friends, so I always have ground beef on hand. Not only is it convenient, but the meat is so much better too!) Anyway, it's a wonderful make ahead meal because it goes together fast, and it can stand on it's own as a your entire dinner.

The Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can corn, drained
8 oz macaroni noodles
1 can tomato soup
1 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or a blend)
1/3 cup onion
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chile powder


At Ten O'Clock

Cook noodles according to package directions. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef for several minutes before adding onion. When the beef is cooked and onion is tender, add cream of mushroom soup, corn, tomato soup, 1 cup cheese, paprika, and chile powder. Blend together and add macaroni noodles.

Place in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Top with remaining cheese. Cover with foil and refrigerate until ready to bake.


Before Serving

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake, covered, for one hour.


Family Approval
I cannot even describe how much my family loves this dish! Maybe it's a "man" thing. Just kidding, I think it's delicious too. However, when I put all the ingredients together before I baked it, I really didn't think it would be very good. (My husband thought it looked good from the minute I started making it, so I think it might just be my own issue. I did say I don't like hamburger helper.) The magic must come when you bake it and all the flavors blend together. It really is yummy!

  1. I wasn't too sure about this one because I am not a lover of hamburger helper type meals either but I decided to give it a try. I made it tonight for my family and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it, we all had two helpings. Even my 14 month old ate a ton of it!
