Notes
• For a 5-ingredient version, use ground beef, egg noodles, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
• Swap cream of mushroom for all cheese soup if you prefer a cheesier flavor.
• To make it a slow cooker hamburger supreme casserole, cook beef first, then combine everything in a slow cooker and cook on LOW for 3–4 hours.
• Freeze before baking for best texture.
