Ingredients for Husband’s Delight Casserole
- Ground Beef – Ground beef is the perfect meaty filling for this rich and cheesy casserole. Try to use lean ground beef and be sure to drain the liquid fat after browning the beef. If you want to make this casserole a little lighter, you can swap this ingredient with ground turkey or ground chicken instead.
- Garlic Salt – Garlic salt brings a sweet and savory salty flavor. If you do not have garlic salt, swap this ingredient with a homemade blend of garlic powder, dried parsley, and a pinch of salt.
- Spaghetti Sauce – A jarred spaghetti sauce is just the thing to add a rich tomato flavor to this awesome casserole. A thick and hearty marinara adds a fun texture to the dish or choose a classic smooth pasta sauce; pick a favorite brand or style of jarred sauce to perfectly suit your taste!
- Dry Spaghetti Mix – Dry spaghetti mix is a delicious blend of all the herbs and spices that make a spaghetti sauce delicious like onion, garlic, basil, and paprika. McCormick makes a tasty Thick and Zesty Spaghetti sauce with extra peppery flavor, but choose your favorite brand and style for this bake!
- Medium Egg Noodles – Egg noodles have the best texture and flavor for this rich casserole. For this recipe, use your favorite brand and shape of medium-sized egg noodles.
- Sour Cream – Sour cream is a delicious way to add a tangy and creamy flavor to savory recipes like this. Use your favorite brand of sour cream and you can also use low-fat sour cream in this recipe.
- Shredded Cheese – Shredded cheese adds extra salty, creamy flavor. Use your favorite variety of pre-shredded cheese or grate some fresh. Both sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack are great choices for this casserole.
