The ingredients for the Pioneer Woman’s cheeseburger casserole include ground beef, onion, macaroni, lots of cheese, and Italian seasoning. It’s excellent for a weekday meal when paired with a tossed green salad because it’s so full and hearty.
Cheeseburger Casserole, Created by a Pioneer Woman
To make her famous cheeseburger casserole, Ree uses ground beef, onions, cooked macaroni, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, and a blend of cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan.
You can make this cheeseburger casserole your own by adding whatever spices and cheeses you like.

- Macaroni and cheese (one package’s worth)
- 12 pounds of beef ground
- 1 small onion, diced
- Add pepper and salt to taste.
- 1 tbsp. an Italian flavoring
- 1-cup worth of shredded cheddar cheese
- Shredded mozzarella cheese equaling one cup
Instructions
- The oven should be heated to 450 degrees.
- Follow the instructions on the box to prepare macaroni. Leave aside.
- Season the ground beef with salt and black pepper, to taste, and add it to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion to the beef.
- Ground beef should be cooked for at least 10 minutes, preferably more like 8 or 9.
- Put some vegetable oil in a baking dish and set it aside.
- Combining the meat combined with the boiling macaroni and cheese and the Italian spice is a delicious idea.

Tips for thawing frozen Cheeseburger Casserole
Here’s what you’ll find in the fridge: It will take between 12 and 24 hours for your frozen cheeseburger to defrost in the refrigerator.
Wet and Comfy: If you freeze your cheeseburger casserole in individual servings and thaw them in warm water, you may have a delicious meal in less than two hours. Each frozen serving only needs a few minutes in a warm water bath (not boiling water) to defrost.
Currently Baking: Set the oven to 350°F. Put the frozen cheeseburger casserole servings in a baking dish straight from the freezer bags you’ve been storing them in. You can thaw it in the oven for around twenty-five minutes. Next, heat casserole portions to 165°F.
To complement the Cheeseburger Casserole
Cheeseburger casserole goes well with crackers, biscuits, mashed potatoes, and/or a green salad. One of my favorite combinations is cheeseburger casserole with roasted vegetables like carrots, asparagus, or cucumbers and dipping sauces like mayonnaise or mustard.

Cheeseburger Casserole Storage Instructions
In the Fridge: The casserole can be kept for four days. Wait until the dish is cool before refrigerating it. After that, you can refrigerate it by wrapping it in plastic. Additionally, cheeseburger casserole can be portioned out and stored in airtight glass containers for later warming.
In the Freezer: You can freeze cheeseburger casserole for up to 3 months. Divide the casserole into servings before freezing. Freeze it by placing individual servings in freezer bags with enough headroom for expansion (approximately 1/2 inch). The casserole can be readily reheated from frozen if you freeze it in individual servings.
