You need this Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole when you want a hearty, satisfying meal with minimal effort. This recipe combines ground beef, potatoes, and cheese into a simple, comforting bake perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease. Season the cooked beef with half of the seasoned salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Toss the thinly sliced potatoes in a bowl with the olive oil, remaining seasoned salt, and pepper until they are lightly coated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
  5. Layer half of the seasoned potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the potato layer.
  7. Pour half of the soup and milk mixture over the beef layer.
  8. Sprinkle one cup of the shredded cheddar cheese over the soup layer.
  9. Repeat the layers: remaining potatoes, remaining soup mixture, and top with the remaining one cup of cheddar cheese.
  10. Bake uncovered for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork and the top is bubbly and golden brown.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before you cut and serve it.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken soup or cream of celery soup.
  • If you want a richer flavor, use thin slices of Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes; avoid peeling them for added texture and nutrients.
  • If you are short on time, use pre-shredded potatoes from the grocery store, but pat them very dry before seasoning.
