My grandmother’s hamburger casserole is the epitome of classic comfort food! Featuring ground beef, tender noodles, and a creamy cheese sauce, this simple recipe dates back to the 1940s. It’s easy to customize with the amount of cheese and sour cream based on what you have in the fridge. No matter how you tweak it, it always turns out delicious!
