Hamburger Corn Casserole
"This is my kid's all-time favorite casserole. They are grown now and they still beg me to make it. The recipe originally came from a hospital dietitian who gave it to my mother in the 1950's."

I used frozen corn and cooked it for 2 minutes after it started to boil. I think you could add more noodles. Another keeper! Thanks -
I thought I'd add how I alter this recipe, since I submitted it in its original form. I use 12 ounces of noodles, 16 ounces of sour cream, and 2 cans of corn instead of one. This is the way my family likes it. If you do these changes, however, you will need to use an additional smaller dish to bake part of it in. I freeze the second dish for a day when I don't have time to cook. -
This recipe was in Better Homes cookbooks, circa 1950s. It is no longer in their cookbook. It's been "lost" to the ages now, but our family keeps passing it along to keep it alive. Skip the pimentos, use roasted red peppers, chopped. We use wide "no yolk" egg noodles. Use 2 lbs of ground beef and add more corn and onions. It's an awesome "comfort food" meal that is always a hit. I make a double batch and bake it in a massive lasagna dish and pack up left overs to give away to family. A chewy warm Italian bread is fabulous slathered with butter/margarine to go with it. Giving it away? Make some crescent rolls. They freeze/reheat very well as a pusher. You'll find yourself going back to it again, over and over.

What a great I don't have much time dish. I used green bell peppers, I feel the pimentos would have been better. Thanks for last nights dinner! -
My mom made this casserole when we were kids. It's my brother's favorite and he still requests it when he comes home for a visit, at age 37! Thanks, Donna!

This was a great recipe, DH couldn't keep out of it! I added peas and corn and omitted the breadcrumbs, instead putting grated cheese on top. I used 1/2 green pepper instead of the pimentos. Definitely a keeper! Thanks for a great recipe! -
Nice casserole. I found I didn't have a cream of chicken soup so I subbed a golden mushroom instead. I liked it the second day much better, but still thought it was bland. I had to season it with season salt to get more flavor. I loved the "crumb" topping however, it is a very nice touch to a "homey' type casserole.
