🧀🍔 Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

1 lb (450g) ground beef

1 small onion, diced

4 cups thinly sliced potatoes (about 4 medium potatoes)

1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup milk

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Optional: chopped parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

2. Cook the Beef:

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until browned. Drain excess fat. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Mix the Sauce:

In a bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.

4. Layer the Casserole:

Spread half the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish.

Top with half of the ground beef mixture.

Pour half the soup mixture over the top.

Sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese.

Repeat the layers with remaining potatoes, beef, soup, and cheese.

5. Cover & Bake:

Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 60 minutes. Then remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

6. Garnish & Serve:

Let it sit for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions if desired.
