Easy Hamburger Potato Casserole

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
3. Mix soup and milk in a bowl until well combined.
4. Layer the casserole: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, place half of the sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom. Spread half of the beef and onion mixture over the potatoes. Pour half of the soup mixture over the beef layer. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, beef, and soup.
5. Drizzle melted butter over the top layer and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
7. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and potatoes are tender.
8. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
