Hamburger Potato Casserole Recipe

 A favorite in the Smith household is hamburger potato casserole. I found this super simple recipe by Eating On A Dime when collecting recipes our family might like on Pinterest. We like to keep meals simple and then 'doctor them up' a bit to fit our taste or make them a bit more hearty so we have leftovers. This recipe is super simple, easy and very filling! Oh, and delicious. It does take a lot of time in the oven so I know when it's on the meal plan that I need to start making it at 3pm to have it in the oven by 3:30 to have it ready to go by 5:15 when my husband gets home from work. So if you do make this meal, just know it takes awhile but is well worth it!

See the recipe below!

Ingredients:

2 lbs ground beef

5 medium potatoes

1 onion, chopped

2 cans cream of mushroom

1 cup milk

1 cup cheddar cheese

salt and pepper

*Optional* 

Baby Bella mushrooms, chopped

Recipe:

Brown hamburger with onion and drain, return to pan.

Mix canned cream of mushroom with milk and add salt and pepper to taste. If you want to bulk this up a bit, add several chopped Bella mushrooms to the soup mixture.

Peel and slice potatoes length wise.

Spray 9x13 glass baking dish and preheat oven to 350*

lay sliced potatoes along bottom of dish, covering it completely.

Add meat and onion to top of potatoes.

Add soup mixture on top of meat and spread evenly. 

Sprinkle half of cheese on top of soup. 

Repeat these steps in order once more and finish with sprinkling last of cheese on top.

Spray foil and place on top of baking dish. 

Bake in oven for 1 hour 10 min.

Remove foil and return to oven for 30 minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbly.

Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.

We like to top ours with ketchup.

That's it! Simple recipe but our family loves it. 

I hope you enjoy!

With heart from our home,
