Description

A comforting casserole made with ground beef, creamy mushroom soup, and tender potatoes, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef and drain the grease.
  3. Add the diced onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
  5. Grease a 9×13” baking dish. Start layering by placing half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom, followed by half of the cooked beef mixture, and then half of the soup mixture. Repeat the layers.
  6. Top everything with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

For added spice, consider adding diced green peppers or cayenne pepper. Use ground turkey for a healthier option. Thinly slice potatoes for even cooking.
