EotMGB Recipe: Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

It's the end of the Month... and I'm getting creative in the kitchen again. This month we have tons of meat still in the freezer... but not much else so I made a man (and toddler) pleasing creation.

Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

I'm no food photographer... but you get the picture :-p

Ingredients

• Cooked hamburger (or in my case... leftover meatballs)
• 1 box cooked pasta
• 14 oz can diced tomatoes
• whatever frozen veggie you have on hand (all we had was okra... yummy)
• 3-4oz grated cheddar
• 2-3 pieces chopped cooked bacon
• 3 Tbs Butter
• 1/4 C flour
• 1.5-2 C milk
• 2-3 Tablespoons Dijon mustard

Instructions

1. Melt butter in medium sauce pan with the some of the bacon.
2. Wisk in flour.  Cook 2-3 minutes.
3. Slowly add the about half of your milk.  
4. Add the Dijon and 2/3 of your cheese. 
5. Keep stirring.  Things should be getting pretty thick.. but if it's too thick add more milk.  
6. Dump remaining ingredients in a 9x13 baking dish.  Pour sauce over.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
7. Bake at 350 until casserole is hot and bubbly and cheese is melted.
8. Enjoy!
