I LOVE a good casserole. I make them all the time, but all those ingredients added together in one dish can be a difficult photography subject. 😉 That being said, don’t judge this based on the pictures. This French Onion Beef Casserole will win hearts all around the dinner table! Filled with beef, French onion dip and noodles- it is so delicious, full of flavor and so comforting.
It is amazing, my friends! I can’t think of any other word except that it is amazing. 🙂
I am so grateful my kids typically love casseroles too. When noodles are involved at any meal they don’t ask questions. They just eat. ha! I like to serve this with a side of broccoli and it makes a complete meal for my family!

This dish is delicious! Truly a crowd pleaser. I definitely will Keep tHis recipe in our rotation. Yummy!!
This was awesome!! I used cream of celerY soup as i was out of cream of mushroom. I added beef stock to it as well. Honestly im not a huge fan of ground beef but will defiNitely say it was good in this dish!! Thank you for posting.
I Am going yo mAke this For dinner tonight. Im Going
to use shredded beef, 1 can of mushroom soup and 1 either onion or cElery soup, not fond Of mushroom soup. FOLLOWING the recipe Ither than that. Cant wait to see hOw it tastes.
Had my doubts as i was making the casserole but its out of the oven and on the table and its great. Only difference in mine is i used cream of celery soup.
I was so excited to try this and for good reason! I made a few tweaks and I think it made it that much better. While cooking the beef I added a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce and some minced garlic. Instead of the Lays french onion dip i used 8oz cream cheese, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and a packet of french onion soup mix. Also before adding the crispy fried onions, I topped it with italian shredded cheese and a little extra parmesan. Ok more than a few tweaks but it was still so tasty and an amazing meal! Thanks for the starter tips!
This all sounds amazing!! I am going to try it with your additions next time 🙂
This was GREAT! I used ground turkey and added a little all-purpose seasoning, cayenne, onion powder, & garlic powder while browning it. I didn’t drain the juices out (not much from turkey). After dumping the SOUp & dip, I used a little milk to get what remained out of the jar. Instead of the French’s Fried onions I used natural, uncoated, fried onions. I served it w/broccoli. We loved it! Thank you!
I addEd sauteed onions, mushrooms, french onion dip, a Lot of chopped garlic, and a packet of onion soup mix. I doubled the recipe as i was cooking in a fire station. The guys iNhaled it. An absolute winner! Paired it with seasoned green beans and garlic bread.
You officially won best food blogger with this one. ❤❤
Made last night. Easy to prepare. Shared with some friends. Will make again.
It looks super easy and delicious
Cant wait to make this dish!
Recipe’s excellent as is. next time i may use 1 can coms and one can of french onion soup.
Can’t find jars of Lay’s french onion dip. Is it possible to use a regular sour cream french onion dip in it’s place?
I have never tried it that way, so I can’t say for sure. But I assume it may work.
Super easy reCipe! Read through some suggestions and variations.
I added baby portobello mushrooms saute with some garlic which added a great flavor. I also added a small bag of mixed vegetables and half a package of dry lipton onion soup for a little extra. Before miXing in the noodles i added some milk to keep it creamy. Overall turned out delicious
This is fantastic!!! I added some mushrooms and fresh garlic to it, as well as some garlic salt, and it’s absolutely incredible. Thank you!
My husband loves anything French Onion! He and i loved this dish! his Mom we care for down the street loved this as well. Was a huge hit! followed the recipe though was unable to find French Onion dip in the store. I knew I had sour cream and a packet of onion soup mix which worked fine though leaving to meld its flavors together overnight is perfect. I thought 2 cans of mushroom soup was too much at but it does need both cans for the noodles and adds to the depth of flavors to this dish. I did add 1/4 C. of whole Milk though it would have been fine without it. Thank you Holly!
Is The cream of Mushroom soup the same as cream of mushroom condensed soup? I cant find any without the word condensed.
Yes, it’s the condensed cream of mushroom. I will fix that on the recipe card.
Simple and great tasting!
This was SERIOUSLY so good. I never would have thought to use lays dip in a casserole. Everyone loved It. I usually am a firm believer in addIng cheese to casseroles but it wasn’t nece at all! It is so simple to make too! Delightful! *chefs kiss*
This recipe was so creamy, comforting, and delicious. My teenage boys loved it! I added two 6.6oz cans of sliced mushrooms (drained) to the recipe. Also my sons asked for the Shaker of Poppy seeds when they were eating it and it tasted great with poppy seeds sprinkled on top so I think next time I’m going to sprinkle poppy seeds on top during the last 15 minutes of the bake time (I also put the French’s Fried onions on during the last 15 minutes of baking).
I made this casserole tonight. It was delicious. I actually drained 2 cans of french cut green beans and added them. i’ll definitely make this one again.
This is a favorite in our house. I add shredded mozzarella cheese to the top before I put the fried Onions on top. Also the original Fried Oinons are good but the White cheddar FRENCH’s Onions is a great alternative as well.
I made this for dinner tonigh and we really enjoyed it. Nice and Flavorful. I lOve how easy it was to makE.
I added a splash of WORCESTERSHIRE sauce, garlic powder, and a pinch of CAYENNE.
Thanks for such a good recipe!
Can you use hellauvagood French onion dip instead of lays?
I have never tried that dip, so I can’t say how it will affect the taste of the casserole. If you like the flavor then I’m sure it will work great!
Love This!! It was easy and my fam loved it! I did add Milk so it wasn so thick.
Absolutely delicious! My hubby is a picky eater and he couldn’t get enough. And the granddaughters ate it without argument. I used 15 oz sour cream with onion and mushrooms soup mix instead of the chip dip. Thank you for this.
