Amish Shipwreck Casserole Recipe II: The Fan Favorite With a Cheesy Twist by 30Seconds Food


Amish Shipwreck Casserole Recipe II: The Fan Favorite With a Cheesy Twist

Amish recipes are always popular. But none of them have been quite as well received as our Amish shipwreck casserole recipe. The ground beef casserole went viral and continues to be a fan favorite. When reading the comments and getting emails with questions and suggestions about the casserole recipe, we noticed a trend: you wanted cheese. Doesn't cheese make everything better?

This cheesy Amish shipwreck casserole has the addition of shredded cheddar cheese. It is made the same way as the original casserole recipe. Start by putting sliced onions onto the bottom of a baking dish. Top with thinly sliced potatoes, uncooked (yes, raw) ground beef, uncooked white rice, chopped celery, chopped carrots and tomato soup. Cover and bake for 1 1/2 hours, then uncover, top with shredded cheddar cheese, cover it back up and continue to bake for 30 more minutes. Uncover for five minutes to brown the cheese, then carefully uncover and serve to your family (they've waited long enough!).

Serve this shipwreck casserole with a salad topped with creamy Amish lettuce dressing and hot bread.

  2. Add the sliced potatoes.

Im of the mindset that cheese does make any casserole better. Yummy!
Jill Breese Kempf
This is great! No browning the hamburger, no cooking the rice! I would use mozzarella cheese. I would also use Cream of Chicken or Mushroom soup.
Elisa Schmitz
I know, right? Such a yummy recipe. Thank you for sharing your suggestions, Jill Breese Kempf ! Hope you enjoy this recipe.
Suzie Coy
I am wanting to try to make the Amish Shipwreck casserole tonight, but I don’t have the tomato soup, can I use a can of diced tomatoes?
Donna John
Hmm. Tomato soup is creamier and more liquid than canned diced tomatoes which are packed in water. If you did use them, I would puree them in a blender to make them more saucy. Hope this helps!
