I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, when I was vegetarian (in an effort to take my health back by eating cleaner), burgers were always missed. I mean, always!

Yeah, I could make black bean burgers and spinach burgers, but it just didn’t satisfy that craving.

This creamy and flavorful hamburger casserole has gotten me through MANY weeknight meals.

You know, those days when it is 6PM, you’re just finishing up work, and somehow there is supposed to be food on the table by 7PM??

I mean, you would think that because I work from home there would be a meal planned and ready every night. Nope.

Who just had potatoes for dinner last night? // Yeah, that would be me.

Let’s talk about the key ingredient in this dish and something you should have in your fridge. Mustard!

  • In my expert (yet humble) opinion, the more mustard in this, the better.
  • The tangy mustard goes perfectly with the crunch of the pickles, the sweetness of the tomatoes, and the kick of the onions.
  • Really, it’s hamburger heaven. Just in casserole form.

Made with gluten-free pasta using my favorite gluten-free pasta trick–as I shared over at this Italian Pasta Salad post.
