📝 Ingredients
1 lb ground beef or ground turkey
4–5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can cream of mushroom or cream of celery soup (about 10.5 oz)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional but recommended)
1/2 cup milk
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
👩🍳 How to Make Meat and Potato Casserole
1. Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the Meat
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until softened. Add ground meat and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Drain any excess fat.
3. Prepare the Sauce
In a bowl, mix the cream soup with milk until smooth.
4. Layer the Casserole
Start with a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom of the baking dish. Spread half of the cooked meat mixture over the potatoes. Pour half of the soup mixture evenly over the meat. Repeat layers: potatoes, meat, then soup.
5. Add Cheese & Bake
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly on top (if using). Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Rest & Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving to let everything set.

Swap ground beef for ground chicken or sausage.
Add sliced mushrooms, bell peppers, or frozen peas for extra veggies.
