If you want to taste something deliciously different that is also so simple to throw together, then you are going to love this dish. This recipe combines all the goodness of a cheeseburger, only in casserole form with the same tasty burger fixings like onions, tomato, ketchup, mustard, Cheddar cheese along with some unusual extras like chili powder, ground cumin, jalapeno pepper, macaroni, fresh mushrooms and milk to the ground turkey or beef if you prefer.
Once you taste this, I am fairly confident that it will become a favorite. I do hope you try it because it is that good!
