What's the sound of a satisfying meal? Chances are, it sounds just like biting into the Crunchy Beef Casserole! The "crunch" comes from the savory and salty crispy fried onion topping, baked to give it a truly percussive presence. But you can't forget the beef: a whole pound of juicy ground beef mixed with tender rotini, sweet tomatoes, and melty sharp cheese. Crunchy Beef Casserole provides its own drumroll, but there's no suspense here, just anticipation of how good the next bite will be!
