How to Make Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole
Preheat Oven to 350°F (175°C).
Brown the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until beef is browned and onions are soft. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you like. Drain any excess grease.
Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix the soup and milk until smooth.
Layer the Casserole:
In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half the sliced potatoes.
Spoon half of the beef mixture over the potatoes.
Pour half of the soup mixture over the beef, then sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.
Repeat the layers: potatoes, beef, soup, and the remaining cheese.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Cool & Serve: Let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving to help the casserole set.
Tips & Variations
Add veggies: Throw in some frozen corn, peas, or green beans for extra nutrition.
Swap the protein: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
Extra creamy: Add sour cream or a second can of soup for a richer dish.
Crispy topping: Sprinkle crushed crackers or breadcrumbs over the top for added crunch.
