We made this for the first time a couple of weeks ago and our family can’t get enough!

We’re always on the lookout for dinners that are easy and delicious, so it’s no wonder we love this Amish Country casserole so much! We’re not exactly sure what the story is behind this dish, but we’re super glad we made it and can’t wait to share it with you. Basically a creamy, cheesy, beefy pasta bake, this is a comforting dinner that we love to make and that our family loves to eat – you’ll see!
Part of what makes this dish so yummy are the liquids we added to provide creaminess; tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup, and a (generous) “splash” of half-and-half. While you’re more than welcome to make said soups from scratch – we’re sure it would be delicious! – using store-bought keeps this meal quick and easy, and we can’t argue with that.
