Amish Series - Yummasetti

Yummasetti is a very traditional Amish dish, and it’s easy to see why the Amish love it. It is delicious! Think macaroni and cheese on steroids.

Yummasetti
6 or 7 slices white bread (I used leftover hamburger buns)
1/8 to 1/4 cup butter to spread, 1/4 cup butter to toss
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (12-ounce) package noodles, cooked and drained (I used elbow macaroni. They are best if cooked al dente.)
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 1/2 soup cans of water
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Spread butter on the bread slices and toast bread under a broiler until golden brown. Cut into small cubes. Melt the remaining ¼ cup butter in a medium bowl and toss in the bread cubes until they are well coated. Set aside.

Sprinkle the ground beef with salt and fry the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat for about 15 minutes until browned.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Butter a 2-quart casserole dish. Layer the noodles, ground beef and onion, and peas in the dish. In a small bowl, combine the two soups with the water. Mix well. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the layers. Drop the sour cream by teaspoonfuls evenly over the mixture.

Sprinkle the bread cubes on top. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and sprinkle with the cheese. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for 10 minutes. Serve hot.
Serves 4-6
