This creamy and cheesy hamburger potato casserole is a nostalgic, heartwarming dish made with layers of seasoned ground beef, tender potatoes, and melted Cheddar cheese — just like Mama Lou used to make. It’s a comforting one-pan meal that brings back family memories and warms every bite.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

  • ¾ cup milk

  • ½ cup chopped onion

  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 3 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes

Topping

  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

  • Cook the Beef and Onion
    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with chopped onions until meat is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.

  • Mix the Sauce
    In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Layer the Ingredients
    Start with a layer of half the potatoes, then spread half the beef mixture over them. Pour half of the soup mixture on top.

  • Repeat the Layers
    Add the remaining potatoes, beef, and soup mixture in the same order to complete the layering.

  • Bake the Casserole
    Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour. Then uncover, sprinkle shredded Cheddar cheese on top, and bake for an additional 15 minutes.

  • Rest Before Serving
    Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking to help it set and make serving easier.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin potatoes. This ensures even cooking.

  • For a variation without canned soup, use a mix of sour cream and beef broth.

  • Add frozen peas or corn for extra texture and nutrition.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.

  • Reheat in the oven for best texture, or microwave with a damp paper towel.
