Easy Hamburger Potato Casserole recipe

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) ground beef
• 4–5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)
• Cooking spray or a little butter for greasing

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and fully cooked. Drain any excess fat. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
4. Layer the casserole:
   • First layer: sliced potatoes on the bottom of the dish.
   • Next: spread half of the beef mixture over the potatoes.
   • Pour half of the soup mixture on top.
   • Sprinkle with half of the shredded cheese.
   • Repeat layers once more: potatoes, beef, soup, and cheese.
5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
6. Remove foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
7. Let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Enjoy this warm, cheesy, and comforting casserole with a side salad or some crusty bread! Let me know if you want a variation with veggies or a different soup base.
