Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole

Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 lb Lean ground beef

• 5-6 Medium Yukon Gold potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)

• 1 Small onion (diced)

• 2 cups Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

• 1 can (10.5 oz) Condensed cream of mushroom or chicken soup

• 1/2 cup Whole milk

• 1/2 cup Sour cream

• 1 tsp Garlic powder

• Salt & Black pepper to taste

• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

2. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the meat is fully browned. Drain any excess fat. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

3. Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the condensed soup, milk, and sour cream until smooth. This creates the creamy base that binds the layers.

4. Layer the Dish: * Place half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish.

   • Spread the cooked beef mixture evenly over the potatoes.

   • Pour half of the soup mixture over the beef and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.

   • Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes and sauce.

5. Bake: Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes.

6. The Cheesy Finish: Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 15–20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

7. Serve: Let it rest for 5–10 minutes to set. Garnish with fresh parsley and enjoy!
