Last night, we made a casserole that tasted exactly like a McDonald's cheeseburger! You may ask why you don't just make a cheeseburger rather than turning it into a casserole but once you make it, you won't be disappointed. I am not sure it's all that much healthier than the real deal but everyone can splurge once in a while. The ingredients are pretty common and there's a good chance all of them are already in your fridge. The original recipe says it serves six but the blog I got it from says it serves four. In our family, it serves about 3.
This is the link I used. We did leave out the part where you brush milk on top and add sesame seeds. We were assuming that the milk was to help the seeds stick but maybe we missed out on something great. We also used American cheese because that was what we had on hand but you could really use any cheese. I could see varying this to make all sorts of their burgers, like a mushroom swiss for instance.
Like I said, it's not that healthy but it is pretty versatile and a great source of protein. I would definitely make it again but probably only has a treat for dinner. We also forgot to drain our meat so it was extra greasy, just like the real burgers!
I also wonder if using biscuits on top instead of crescent rolls would be better because the crescents get kind of soggy. I definitely wouldn't put a bottom crust with it or it would also be a soggy mess. Some reviewers on the other site did though and seemed to like it that way.
We served this with a side of sauerkraut, which was actually pretty good mixed in the casserole too!
