Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound lean ground beef The star of the show! It gives a nice savory flavor and protein-packed goodness.
- 1 can (10.5 ounce) condensed cream of mushroom soup The secret to that creamy texture.
- 3/4 cup milk Helps mix everything together and enhances the creaminess.
- 1/2 cup chopped onion Adds a lovely bite and sweetness when cooked.
- 4 cups diced potatoes The heart of this casserole! Preferably Yukon Gold for their buttery taste.
- Salt and pepper to taste Essential for bringing out all those flavors!
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional) For a cheesy topping that your family will adore.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, crumble the lean ground beef and add the chopped onion. Cook over medium heat until the meat is nicely browned and the onion is tender, about 5-7 minutes, and drain excess fat.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir until well combined.
- Grease a casserole dish and layer the diced potatoes evenly across the bottom.
- Pour the creamy beef mixture over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, carefully remove the foil and check if the potatoes are tender. If they are, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Return to the oven uncovered for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For a crispy top, you can broil the casserole for a couple of minutes after baking. Consider using garlic powder or Worcestershire sauce for added flavor.
