I always took a casserole as a way to get leftovers out of the fridge.

So I made homemade hamburger helper casserole.

First I took left over peas and green beans and sautéed them with Kerry gold butter and seasoning blend.



Then browned some ground meat that wasn't enough for burgers or meatballs and added in a half of pack of mushroom gravy mix and half a pack of onion soup mix.



Then I made a butter roux Bechemel sauce and added redfish seasoning and milk to thin it before the next step.




Then I added some left over cheese spread and some gouda and other cheese to the bechemel. (Aldi garlic cheese spread pictured)



Then got style rotini ready and prepared to combine them all.



Got my mom's old casserole dish out.



Layered and mixed Then topped with shredded cheese Then what manchengo I had left and a couple of peppers.
Then baked.




The final result. A traditional mid century casserole. Or hamburger helper plus a few steps.
