Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole
This Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole is a comfort food classic that combines ground beef, potatoes, cheese, and creamy soup for a delightful dish everyone will love.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes, sliced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or other seasonings
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef with chopped onion over medium heat; season with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
Assembly
- In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, followed by half of the cooked beef mixture, and half of the cheese.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese on top.
- Pour the soup mixture over the entire casserole.
Baking
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve the casserole hot. It's delicious on its own but pairs wonderfully with a fresh salad or some steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through before serving again. Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking. If you prefer a slightly crispier top, you can broil it for a couple of minutes after baking—just watch it closely. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to suit your taste preferences.
