Hamburger Potato Casserole – Classic Comfort Food in Every Bite!
This easy, cheesy hamburger potato casserole is a hearty all-in-one dish packed with layers of tender potatoes, savory ground beef, and creamy, melty cheese. Perfect for busy weeknights or cozy weekends when you need something filling and fuss-free.
Ingredients:
- 500g ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 can (300ml) cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
- Chopped parsley for garnish
structions:
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with chopped onion and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper.
In a separate bowl, mix the cream soup with milk until smooth.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Spread half of the beef mixture over the potatoes, then pour over half of the soup mixture. Sprinkle with some cheese.
Repeat the layers with remaining potatoes, beef, soup, and finish with the rest of the cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden.
Sprinkle with paprika and parsley before serving.
Tips:
- Slice potatoes evenly so they cook through at the same time.
- Add frozen peas or corn for extra flavor and texture.
- Let it rest for 10 minutes before serving for easier slicing.
