Ground Beef Casserole with Potatoes

Cheesy ground beef casserole with potatoes is perfect for breakfast or a potluck!

Like cheeseburger scalloped potatoes, this will become a family favorite dish. Serve as a hearty main dinner or as a cheesy and delicious side dish.

Ground Beef Casserole with Potatoes

We have the best ground beef casserole your family will love! This cheesy ground beef casserole with potatoes has been an Easter side dish as well as a breakfast brunch item at our house. Try it and see what all the hype is about! Sponsored by Washington potatoes.

Ground Beef and Potato Casserole

It’s super easy and is like an amped up scalloped potatoes dish you love making during the holidays.

So hearty it can even be served as a main dish throughout the week.

Love ground sausage? Use that instead! I love half spicy sausage and half hamburger meat to bring even more flavor to the dish.

  • We are going to start with some peeled and sliced Washington potatoes! Russet potatoes are best for this ground beef sliced potato casserole recipe. 

    Use what you can find at the store I say. If 80/20 is what’s on hand then use that. A roll of ground sausage works really well too though.

    You’ll need to precook it before you add it into you dish like you see here below.

    Potato casserole

    1. Washington russet potatoes
    2. Ground beef or sausage
    3. Cheese is a must of course, you can use any type or combination you love.
    shredded cheese
    1. Cream of chicken soup
    2. Evaporated milk
    3. Milk
    4. Onion

    Suggested seasonings are in the recipe card below too. You can use your own favorites though if you prefer. Of course I always add garlic of some kind because it’s a fave in this house.

    If you really wanted to add a veggie I might suggest fresh green beans cut in half with ends removed. They will keep their shape while baked.

    What should I serve with ground beef?

    This comes to mind a lot when I have a block in my fridge and want to make something different. I don’t always want a hamburger on a bun, that just doesn’t cut it as comfort food to me. 😉

    • Now add it in with some cheesy potatoes and now you’re talkin’!!

    Scalloped potato casserole

    Let’s get started with types of ground beef out there to choose from:

    The four main ones are “regular” ground beef, ground chuck, round, and sirloin. They all look pretty similar but the main differences are the amounts of fat in each and price.

    easy ground beef casserole

    We buy half a cow at the beginning of each year so ours is organic, grass fed, and quite low in fat.

    • If you typically buy 80/20 that is totally fine too. Use what you have on hand I always say. If you have leftover ham you could use that instead too!

    How many types of potatoes are there?

    The main potato types are: russet, red, white, yellow, blue/purple, fingerling and petite. We are using Washington russet potatoes this time. 

    • I suggest these or yellow if you prefer. Both are softer and make for a great base for our potato casserole here.

    What are the most popular cheeses to use?

    There are a TON out there but for this I suggest cheddar or a combination of this and maybe jack or mozzarella.

    best ground beef casserole

    Ground beef casserole

    1. In a large skillet over medium heat add a bit of olive oil, ground beef and diced onions.
      1. could add some diced bell pepper too if you wanted
    2. Cook until meat is no longer pink, then set aside.
    ground beef
    1. In a bowl whisk together your can of condensed soup, evaporated milk, milk, garlic powder, any seasonings like salt and pepper to taste.
    2. Once your potatoes are peeled and sliced lay a layer on the bottom of your 9×13″ baking dish
    3. Then a layer of your beef mixture
    4. Followed by 1 cup of cheese

    Just keep going at this point basically. Use up what you have with the “sauce” at the top.

    1. Then repeat with these layers so there are 3 total.
    2. Pour your potato soup mixture on top of everything and cover with foil.
    3. Put into a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour

    Then remove foil, sprinkle on remaining cheddar cheese and continue baking for another 10 – 20 minutes longer until cheese is melted and potatoes are tender.

    Cooling is important! Allow to sit on a cooling rack for at least 15 minutes before serving with a dollop of sour cream on top! This will allow it to solidify a bit more and the sauce to thicken.

    Your mouth is already watering isn’t it??!! I know, it is delicious for sure and perfect year round and with any company.

    Other easy potato recipe ideas we know you’ll love too are:

    • We have tons of great air fryer potato recipes here like our
      • Air fryer SPAM and potatoes
    • Instant Pot sweet potato casserole is great during the holidays

      We had this for dinner tonight and we really liked it. The only change we will make is using less salt. Karen Nolen

      Do you NEED to add the evaporated milk?

        I’m sure I’ve made one similar and just used normal milk. I used evaporated tonight as I had lots but otherwise if it’s not something you normally use I wouldn’t worry too much.

      Very good. A little salty for my husband and I. I only used half the salt that it called for. Will try 1/4 the salt the next time.
      Every one’s taste is different. But, over all, it can be very ADDICTING!!!
      I will DEFINITELY make this again!

      I gave this 5 stars because the taste is amazing, but can you help me figure something out? I cooked for an hour, then 20 min, then put cheese on and cooked another 15, then 5 more, and potatoes weren’t soft. Then I let sit hoping they’d soften. Then I threw them back in since they wouldn’t soften. For another 30
      Min. Still not quite soft enough for me… What did I do wrong?

        Sounds like they weren’t sliced thin enough. Next time slice them thin, they’ll be softer that way.

        I have experienced potatoes that would not get soft like normal potatoes a few times, that sounds like the problem you had because cooking anything for over an hour should cook.
        I’m 100% sure you did nothing wrong.

      I have been making this for many years and my mother did as we grew up and she is 90 years old. We add a vegetable such as green beans but can add anything to this. Great comfort food!!
