In a large mixing bowl, combine:

• Cream of mushroom soup
• Sour cream
• Heavy cream
• Cheddar cheese
• Mozzarella cheese

Mix until smooth and creamy.

The combination of cheeses creates a rich, gooey texture while the sour cream adds tangy depth.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Add the cooked pasta and meat mixture into the creamy sauce.

Stir until everything is evenly coated.

If using vegetables or extra add-ins, fold them in now.

Transfer the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 5: Add the Topping

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter.

Sprinkle the casserole with:

• Remaining cheddar cheese
• Remaining mozzarella cheese
• Buttered breadcrumbs

This creates a delicious crispy golden topping.

Step 6: Bake the Casserole

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown on top.

For extra browning, broil during the final 2 minutes.

Let It Rest

Allow the casserole to cool for about 5–10 minutes before serving.

This helps the creamy sauce thicken slightly and makes serving easier.

Serving Suggestions

This creamy cheesy baked casserole pairs wonderfully with:

• Garlic bread
• Caesar salad
• Roasted vegetables
• Steamed broccoli

It’s filling enough to serve as a complete meal on its own.
