Description
A hearty and comforting Southern Hamburger and Potato Casserole that combines ground beef, potatoes, and cheese for a delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Heat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion for 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease, then add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Season: Stir in Worcestershire sauce, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
- Layer the casserole: Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the potatoes and pour over half of the soup mixture. Sprinkle with about ¾ cup cheddar cheese.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes, beef, soup mixture, and another ¾ cup of cheddar cheese. Sprinkle the Monterey Jack cheese over the top.
- Bake covered: Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Finish baking: Remove the foil, drizzle the melted butter over the top, and bake for another 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Rest: Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Slice the potatoes very thinly and evenly so they cook through at the same time.
