If you’re looking for a quick and easy weeknight dinner, look no further! This Whole Wheat Cheeseburger Casserole comes together in well under an hour and is super simple to make. It is absolutely perfect for busy weeknights and could even be made ahead of time if you really wanted to save time before dinner.

This casserole also only requires 7 ingredients to make it. That’s right. Just seven! It’s made with all the usual burger favorites, beef, cheese, pickle and onion. Top it off with the same condiments that you do your burger and you’ve got yourself a dinner that everyone will love.

To make this casserole a bit more better-for-you I used a whole wheat rigatoni noodle, extra lean ground beef, and reduced fat cheeses. Now, I will say that there were some skeptics in the house, but at the end of it all there was more than one person requisition seconds for dinner.

Did I say that this also makes a whopping 12 servings? Yep. This casserole is heavy and big. So it’ll either feed a crowd or give you plenty for dinner again!

If you want to make it ahead of time, follow the directions below all the way up until being put into the oven. Instead, store covered in the fridge until you’re ready for the final bake in the oven to eat.
