Description
Transform your dinner into a comforting feast with this Easy Hamburger Potato Casserole. This dish combines the heartiness of ground beef, the creaminess of mushroom soup, and the satisfying crunch of baked potatoes, all topped with melted cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ¾ cup milk
- ½ cup chopped onion
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 3 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes
- 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off the excess grease and set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
4. In a 2-quart baking dish, create alternating layers of thinly sliced potatoes, the soup mixture, and the browned ground beef.
5. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake until the potatoes are tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
6. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese over the top and return to the oven. Continue baking just until the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Notes
Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes work well for this recipe.
Make sure potatoes are sliced evenly for consistent cooking.
You can add a dash of garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.
Cover with foil during the first hour of baking to prevent over-browning.
