My Gram used to make this every Sunday for us kids. Now I\’m a gramma and my grandson loves it just as much!

This hearty casserole is a comforting and satisfying meal.

Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the meat is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease.
3. Layer Casserole:
   • Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
   • Add a layer of potatoes to the bottom of the dish.
   • Season with salt and pepper.
   • Top with about one-third of the cooked ground beef mixture.
   • Sprinkle with one-third of the shredded cheese.
   • Repeat layers two more times, ending with a layer of cheese.
4. Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, combine the Cheddar Cheese Soup Mix, evaporated milk, and regular milk. Stir until smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste (optional).
5. Bake: Pour the soup mixture evenly over the layered casserole.
   • Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
   • Bake for 1 hour.
   • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the potatoes are tender.
   • If using thicker potato slices, you may need to bake for longer.
6. Serve: Let the casserole stand for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations:

• Add Veggies: Include other vegetables like chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or frozen corn to the casserole layers.
• Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the ground beef mixture for some extra heat.
• Use Different Cheese: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or a blend of cheeses.
