This Ground Beef Potato Casserole is the ultimate comfort food dish, featuring layers of cheesy, creamy goodness that will satisfy your cravings. With tender Yukon gold potatoes, seasoned ground beef, and a rich mushroom cream sauce, this casserole is a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.

Ingredients

For the Casserole:

  • 2.5 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, washed (about 8 to 9 potatoes)
  • 2 pounds lean ground beef
  • 1 cup finely diced sweet yellow onion
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup (I used Great Value brand)
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 3 cups freshly shredded Colby jack cheese (divided into ¾ cup, ¾ cup, and 1½ cups)

Instructions

  1. Slice the Potatoes: Slice the potatoes into ⅛-inch thick slices and soak them in water to prevent browning.
  2. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13 baking dish.
  3. Cook Ground Beef: Brown the ground beef, onions, and garlic in a saucepan; drain excess oil.
  4. Prepare Sauce: Mix soup, half and half, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  5. Layer Casserole: Alternate layers of potatoes, beef, cheese, and sauce in the baking dish.
  6. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes, then uncover and bake for 20 more minutes.
  7. Rest: Let the casserole rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • You can assemble this casserole ahead of time and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Potatoes can be peeled before slicing if preferred.
  • Monitor baking time as oven temperatures can vary.
