Here’s a classic and comforting Hamburger Potato Casserole recipe you can try. It’s hearty, cheesy, and perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
- Cook the beef and onion: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onion until fully cooked. Drain excess fat. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using.
- Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix the condensed soup and milk until smooth.
- Layer the casserole:
- Place half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the casserole dish.
- Spread half of the cooked beef mixture over the potatoes.
- Pour half of the soup mixture over the beef.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese.
- Repeat the layers with remaining potatoes, beef, soup, and cheese.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
💡 Tips:
- You can add diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the beef mixture for extra flavor.
- Swap cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken for a milder taste.
- For a crispy top, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
If you want, I can also give you a shortcut version using frozen hashbrowns that takes way less time but tastes just as good. Do you want me to do that?
