Recipe Title: Classic Hamburger Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crumbly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease and set the beef aside.
  3. Mix the Soup and Milk: In a medium bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, chopped onion, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth and well-combined.
  4. Layer the Casserole: In a 2-quart baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom. Spread half of the soup mixture over the potatoes, followed by half of the browned ground beef. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, soup mixture, and ground beef.
  5. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
  6. Add Cheese: Once the potatoes are fully cooked, remove the foil and sprinkle the top with shredded Cheddar cheese. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
