This Easy Hamburger Potato Casserole combines lean ground beef, tender sliced potatoes, and creamy mushroom soup, topped with melted Cheddar cheese. It’s a comforting and budget-friendly dish perfect for family dinners

Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (10.5 oz) 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

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  • In a bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, chopped onion, salt, and pepper.
  • In a 2-quart baking dish, layer half the potatoes, half the soup mixture, and half the cooked beef. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 to 1½ hours, or until potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Remove foil, top with shredded cheese, and bake uncovered for an additional 5–10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let it cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Add a pinch of garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning to the beef for extra flavor.
  • Swap the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or celery if desired.
  • Try adding spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for a veggie boost.
  • Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat nicely.
