This Cheesy Hamburger Supper might remind you of a lasagna. It has the same cheesy tomato flavours, but the addition of cream cheese makes it even better!
The weather is getting colder and I find I’m making more comfort food. This Cheesy Hamburger Supper is packed full of YUM. It’s a meal in itself and very filling.
I added cream cheese making it extra creamy and delicious. It even tastes great heated up and served the next day.
My favorite part is all that oohey gooey cheese on top. This meal was a winner in my home even with my picky daughter. I’m sure if my other daughter were here she would like it, too. She’s away at university. Sniff, sniff.
Another thing I love about this dish is that it doesn’t require a lot of dishes so you won’t have a sink full of dishes after making this recipe.
If comfort food is your jam, you must try this recipe. It’s simple to make and the results are pure heaven. Enjoy!

Ingredients
This recipe is packed full of simple delicious ingredients that combine into a hearty and simply delicious meal. For this recipe you will need:
- Ground beef is a staple in most of my casserole dishes. You can also add other meats of your choice like chicken for a filling and heartier approach.
- Onions will add loads of flavor to the meat mixture.
- Sugar, salt, pepper, and garlic salt are the spices that are needed for the casserole. You can adjust the amounts to taste, but I recommend following the recipe as closely as possible to get the delicious flavors.
- Tomato Sauce will thicken up the casserole a little bit as well as add color and enrich the flavors a little bit more.
- Sour cream, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and cream cheese will add a creamy texture to the casserole. The shredded cheddar cheese will add a huge cheesiness to the casserole dish.
- Egg noodles really bring this dish together. It adds a heartiness factor to the casserole. Egg noodles often have certain vitamins and minerals which increase their nutritional value.

- This casserole dish is what I like to use for all of my casserole dishes. It has so many other uses though. It also comes with a lid which makes storing leftovers a lot easier.

What to Serve with Cheesy Hamburger Supper
This dish is best served with a bread-based side. I love pairing it with a loaf of my garlic bread. It would also pair really well with my parmesan thyme roasted potatoes.
Substitutions and Variations
- The egg noodles can be replaced with any pasta of choice. I found that egg noodles are a bit more healthier since they are usually packed with different vitamins and minerals.
- Adding cooked chicken or more ground beef will add a bit more protein to this dish. If you choose to add chicken, it will also give the dish a bit of different flavor but still be delicious.
- Adding cooked veggies such as lettuce and tomatoes will make this seem like more of a hamburger but it may not be as kid-friendly then.
- The cottage cheese can be replaced with ricotta cheese.
Storage Instructions
Store any leftover casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes when you are ready to serve again.
Can I Freeze?
Yes, it can be frozen. You can fully layer the dish before adding the shredded cheese and then freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months. When you are ready to cook, thaw overnight in the fridge and cook in the oven according to the directions.
