Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups elbow macaroni or similar short pasta
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, green beans)
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter or cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the elbow macaroni according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it into crumbles as it cooks.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef, and sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft and translucent. Drain off any excess fat if necessary.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the cooked macaroni, ground beef/onion mixture, frozen mixed vegetables, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until all ingredients are evenly combined.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the dish is heated through.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven, let it cool for 5 minutes, and serve warm. Enjoy your Old Time Hot Dish with a crisp green salad or some warm bread on the side!
