This week we baked up a Toasty Cheese Bake casserole for our family night cooking adventure. This recipe comes from the Betty Crocker Recipe Card Library, 1971, Budget Casseroles.



This was another dish that was extremely easy to put together. Brown your meat, toast your bread, layer, and throw it in the oven.


The recipe calls for 1/2 pound of ground beef. We thought this amount was too little for a main course entree that contained so much bread. We decided to use 1 pound of beef instead.

Another change we made was in the cheese. We used shredded cheddar and Jack instead of Shredded American. Our grocer does not carry shredded American nor block American cheese, only sliced.


This Hamburger Cheese Bake recipe is fantastic. The hamburger almost tastes like sausage the way it blends with the egg, cheese, and mustard. If you are looking for an easy, different, meal, you might want to try this little treat.
