Ingredients

• 1 lb (450 g) ground beef (hamburger)

Description

This Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole is creamy, rich, and deeply satisfying.
The potatoes absorb the savory flavors of the beef, while the melted cheese
forms a delicious golden topping. It’s classic comfort food that always
feels warm and homemade.

Tips

• Slice the potatoes thinly so they cook evenly.
• Mix cheddar with mozzarella or Monterey Jack for extra creaminess.
• You can use cream of chicken soup instead of mushroom soup.
• Add vegetables like peas, carrots, or corn for more nutrition.

Correction

• If the potatoes are undercooked, cover and bake for 10–15 more minutes.
• If the casserole is too thick, add a little extra milk to the soup mixture.
• If it tastes too salty, use low-sodium soup and cheese next time.
• For a lighter version, use lean ground beef or ground turkey.
