🥔🍔 Easy Hamburger Potato Casserole – Creamy, Cheesy, and Pure Comfort!
Instructions
Preheat oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onion and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the creamy mixture: In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and sour cream until smooth.
Layer the casserole:
Spread a layer of sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Add half of the cooked beef mixture on top.
Pour half of the creamy soup mixture over the beef.
Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, beef, creamy mixture, and top with remaining cheese. Dot the top with small pieces of butter.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Serve: Let it cool 5 minutes before serving. Perfect as-is or with a side salad!
💡 Ashley’s Tips
For extra flavor, sprinkle a little smoked paprika or garlic powder on top before baking.
You can swap potatoes for frozen hash browns for a quicker version.
Add cooked bacon or sautéed mushrooms to the layers for an indulgent twist!
If you want, I can give you a slow-cooker version that’s just as creamy and cheesy — perfect for busy nights!
