Description

This Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole is a warm and hearty dish, combining ground beef or turkey, layers of thinly sliced russet potatoes, creamy mushroom soup, and plenty of cheese for a delightful family meal.

Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ lbs ground beef or ground turkey
1 medium onion chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
5 –6 medium russet potatoes thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella optional
for extra meltiness
1 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
1 cup milk
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp paprika optional
1 tbsp olive oil or butter for greasing the dish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
In a bowl, mix together cream of mushroom soup and milk, stirring until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, if using.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the greased baking dish, followed by half of the meat mixture, half of the soup mixture, and half of the cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, add mozzarella cheese (if using), and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, consider sautéing some vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms with the meat. This casserole can be made ahead of time and refrigerated before baking.
