40 minMicrowave cooking gets a bad reputation, but this creamy ground beef casserole makes a strong case for giving it another chance.
Lean ground beef and onions cook right in a microwave-safe bowl, then get mixed with cubed cream cheese, condensed mushroom soup, corn, and chopped pimentos. Everything goes into a baking dish and heats until bubbly and golden around the edges.
It’s rich, it’s cheesy, and it’s on the table in 40 minutes with minimal dishes to wash.
Kitchen Tips
- Stir the meat occasionally while it browns in the microwave to break it into even crumbles.
- Cube the cream cheese small so it melts evenly throughout the casserole without leaving cold pockets.
- Drain the corn and pimentos well before adding them. Extra liquid will make the casserole watery instead of thick and creamy.
- This works just as well in a conventional oven. Bake at 350°F for about 25 minutes until bubbly.
