- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes so they cook evenly.

- Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Description
This casserole is warm, hearty, and slightly sweet from the baked beans while the potatoes
make it filling and comforting. The melted cheddar cheese adds a rich, creamy touch, and
the onion brings a mild savory flavor. The result is a rustic, homestyle dish that pairs
perfectly with roasted meats or can also be enjoyed as a satisfying main dish.
Tips
- Cut the potatoes evenly to ensure they cook at the same speed.
- For a crispier top, broil the casserole for the last 2–3 minutes.
- Add a pinch of black pepper or paprika for extra flavor.
- For a creamier texture, mix in a few tablespoons of sour cream before baking.
Correction
- If the potatoes are not fully cooked, cover the dish with foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
- If the casserole becomes dry when reheating, add a small splash of milk.
- Always check that the potatoes are fork-tender before serving.
Enjoy
Serve this comforting Amish baked bean potato casserole warm with a fresh salad or crusty
bread. It’s a cozy dish that proves delicious meals don’t require a long list of ingredients.
