Description

A hearty and comforting Hamburger Potato Casserole featuring layers of seasoned ground beef, thinly sliced potatoes, creamy mushroom sauce, and melted cheddar cheese. This baked casserole is simple to prepare and perfect for family dinners, delivering a satisfying blend of flavors and textures.


Ingredients

Meat

  • 1 lb ground beef

Vegetables

  • 3 cups thinly sliced potatoes

Sauce

  • 1 cup cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt & pepper, to taste

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
  2. Brown the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and onion powder to enhance the flavor.
  3. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with the milk, stirring until smooth to create a creamy sauce.
  4. Layer Ingredients: In a baking dish, start by layering a portion of the thinly sliced potatoes. Then add a layer of the seasoned ground beef followed by a layer of the creamy sauce mixture. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a top layer of potatoes.
  5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top layer to add a rich, melty finish.
  6. Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, allowing the potatoes to cook through and flavors to meld.
  7. Bake Uncovered: Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and make it easier to dish out.
