🥔The Ultimate Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole!
Looking for a hearty dinner the whole family will love? This Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole layers tender russet potatoes with savory ground beef, onions, creamy cheddar sauce, and plenty of melted cheese. Pure comfort food in one baking dish!
Ingredients:
1½ lbs ground beef
1 yellow onion, finely diced
4 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and sliced ¼-inch thin
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cheddar soup
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
½ cup milk
½ tsp garlic powder
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions:
Preheat: Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
Brown the Beef: Cook the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the beef is browned. Drain the excess fat.
Layer the Potatoes: Arrange a single layer of sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Add Beef & Cheese: Top with ¼ of the ground beef mixture and ¼ of the cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers three more times.
Make It Creamy: Whisk the condensed cheddar soup, evaporated milk, milk, and garlic powder together until smooth.
Pour & Cover: Pour the creamy cheddar mixture evenly over the casserole and cover tightly with foil.
Bake: Bake covered for 60 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Serve: Let it rest briefly, then scoop into generous portions and serve warm.
Chef's Tip:
Keep the potato slices consistently about ¼-inch thick so they cook evenly and become perfectly tender.
