Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole
4 STARS!
NOTE: I switched out the fresh potatoes with the dried ones, so I lowered the cook time to 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
1.5 pounds ground beef
1 onion, finely diced
4 pounds potatoes, peeled
Salt and pepper
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded (about 2 cups)
1 10.75-oz can condensed Cheddar Cheese soup

1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
INSTRUCTIONS:
Spray a 13×9 baking dish with cooking spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add ground beef and onion to a large skillet, season with salt and pepper then cook until ground beef is cooked though and crumbled. Drain fat then set aside.
Cut potatoes into thin slices (less than 1/4 inch). Add one layer of potato slices to the bottom of the baking dish. Sprinkle potatoes with salt and pepper. Top potatoes with 1/4 of beef mixture. Top beef with 1/4 of shredded cheese. Repeat this process three more times.
Combine condensed cheddar soup, evaporated milk, milk, salt, garlic powder and pepper then whisk until smooth. Pour mixture over potato/beef/cheese layers.

Remove foil then continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender and dish is light golden brown and bubbly.
