For years, Wicked Chicken has been our top recipe on AllFreeCasseroleRecipes.com. As 2014 came to a close, it was clear that it had again topped the charts. With the success of Wicked Chicken, we wanted to try to replicate the flavors and ease of the original, but in a whole new way. Thus, Wicked Beef was born in our Test Kitchen.

Readers like Wicked Chicken because its three ingredients make it an ideal weeknight meal. Our beefy version combines ground beef, egg noodles, Alfredo sauce, diced tomatoes, and chilies, and a couple spices to give it even more flavor. It’s amazing that a few simple ingredients can produce such intense flavors like they do in our Wicked Beef dish. It’s wickedly good and wickedly easy. If you like Wicked Chicken, you’re definitely going to love this ground beef casserole.
