How To Make 3-Ingredient Beef Cheddar Potato Casserole:

Step 1: Preheat Oven and Prep Beef: Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). In a skillet over medium heat, brown the 1 lb ground beef until fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess fat.

Step 2: Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 package of frozen hash brown potatoes. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.

Step 3: Bake (Covered): Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 4: Bake (Uncovered): Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 5: Serve: Let it cool slightly before serving.
