    Homestyle Skillet Cheeseburger Casserole

    Geauga County, Ohio has, by the way, the nation's fourth-largest Amish community. Well, fourth largest Amish community in the world. Because they’re only Amish found in the United States and Canada. Geauga doesn’t sometimes get the attention on it that maybe it should, because Holmes County, Ohio is the world's largest Amish settlement about 90 minutes away. So Geauga kind of flies under the radar, but it’s a great place to visit if you want to experience Amish culture. There are plenty of places to visit, Amish stores to explore. It’s been a while since I’ve been there and I need to make it back

    I could run skillet recipes like this for a year and still not run out, Amish kitchens are full of wonderful recipes that you can make in a single skillet.  Cast-iron and stainless steel pots are stock and trade in the average Amish kitchen.

    Ground beef and onions are the "base" of these casserole, start with nice, fresh burger and away you go!

    My mother had some hamburger she wanted to use and is always looking for a creative way to fix it, so I suggested this Homestyle Skillet Cheeseburger Casserole .  It's an easy, quick "skillet supper".  My Dad usually exercises great restraint when it comes to his food portions but he declared this one a "winner," going back for three helpings.  

    Dad thought what really made the meal shine was the splash of mustard.  In that sense this really does mimic a cheeseburger in a skillet.

    The ketchup makes this just like a burger in a skillet. Without the bun! Add plenty of cheese, the cheese sort of disappears after you mix it, it just melts into the meal. If you really like cheese, you can increase the amount.

    πŸ™‹ FAQ

    Do the Amish order burgers from fast-food restaurants?

    Yes! Fifty years ago there weren't many fast-food restaurants in rural areas, but as the quick eateries and their drive-thru lanes and moved into more and more small, rural towns, Amish buggies can be seen ordering their burgers and being asked if they'd like fries with that. There are even some fast-food restaurants with hitching posts in their parking lots.

    These types of quick, but hearty, skillet meals are popular in Amish kitchens on busy days, so if you want something quick, easy, and delicious, try Cheeseburger Casserole!

    You can, by the way, doctor this recipe up to your tastes. Use a blend of sausage and hamburger, for instance. Experiment with jalapenos if you like a bit more kick, or even adding some hot sauce. Frank's Hot Sauce is my weapon of choice when I was some fire. Or just keep the recipe the way it is for Wendy's in a skillet!

      I found this recipe yesterday and made it today. It was very easy to make and smelled like a cheese burger while cooking. It was absolutely delicious, my husband and i enjoyed it and have leftovers. I will make this again!

      We added cut up pickles at the end and it tasted just like a McDonalds cheeseburger. Even my pickiest kid ate it with gusto. Thanks!

      This worked out wonderfully! I made it according to instructions, but did also put out chopped pickles (hamburger dills) per a comment I read. We so thoroughly enjoyed this!

      Your grandmother’s hamburger story made me remember the hamburgers my grandmother used to make. My mom’s never tasted the same. We were eating at a Polish buffet and one taste of their Polish hamburgers (klupskies or kotlety) took me right back to grandma’s kitchen! I later discovered the secret was an egg and dried bread!

      I read what you wrote about that comment that someone wrote to you. Some people are just mean spirited and, I presume, very unhappy with their lives. Be assured that more people don't feel that way about your stories. I find them very endearing so keep telling them and forget about that person. Your recipes are very nice homestyle cooking and I am glad to know where they came from.

      The very rude β€œreader” may leave and not come back. So this is not for him. Ok no one likes everything. I do think his rudeness could be left outside this forum.

      Keep going as most people enjoy your articles or stop reading them but no need for the rudeness you received.

      Keep doing what you do.

      I am eager to try this recipe, as we have plenty of our own farm-raised beef in our freezer! I look forward to your Amish recipes and comments every day. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and little glimpses of your life with us! Gloria's column is always a blessing and an encouragement in the faith, too....I have learned so much from it, and from you, about Amish culture.
