Revisiting an Old Classic: No Peek Casserole
Today Just Baking is still baking, but savory style. We had company for the other day and I strongly debated about getting take-out, but a craving for comfort food and an old classic took hold instead. I originally found this recipe, No Peek Casserole, on a coupon message board, of all places. They have a cooking section, and it was posted by a caterer.
It couldn’t be simpler to make … brown ground beef, mix a few things together and bake for 2-1/2 hours. The hardest part is just planning ahead so you have enough baking time, particularly if you do this during the week. But I guarantee, it is so worth it. After baking so long in the oven, the beef mixture is soft and melty smooth and oh so good. I serve it over egg noodles and it’s a hit every time. Enjoy!
