An easy casserole recipe with ground beef, cheese and potatoes like a meaty potatoes au gratin or cheesy scalloped potatoes with hamburger.
JUMP TO RECIPE
Our house used to be the default party house. Husband and I both love to entertain and we have a pretty cool backyard for kids (pool, basketball, trampoline, cornhole, etc.) so everyone always seemed to land at our house on the weekends.
And we loved it!
But as our kids have gotten more involved with their sports and we continue to work full-time AND on part-time ventures (like this here ol’ recipe blog), we just don’t have the time to do the stuff we once did.
I am constantly telling my friends that we haven’t ditched them - I still love you, I promise I do! - we literally don’t have time to have people over like we used to.
Which leads me to my new suppertime go-to these days: the casserole.
I know people have been enjoying casseroles for decades (myself included!) but I have really been putting them to work lately!
When we do have some downtime, we have to play catch-up with the yard work and housework (and grocery shopping and laundry and school work and and and…) so getting a homemade supper on the table can be challenging.
I know most of you are nodding your head thinking, gurl, you're preaching to the choir.
While I love to spend hours in the kitchen loving on recipes and creating 4-5 dishes for one meal, I most often do NOT have time to do that.
So instead, I assemble everything for a good casserole, toss it in the oven and carry on with the 40’leven things I have to get done every day.
My brood loves anything with a ‘meat and potato’ backbone and they especially love anything with ground beef so I took one of my favorite recipes, Super Easy Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes, added some onion and hamburger and called ‘er done!
The kiddos scarfed this down and I enjoyed the leftovers for lunch throughout the following week. The leftovers heat up beautifully!

An easy casserole recipe with ground beef, cheese and potatoes like a meaty potatoes au gratin or cheesy scalloped potatoes with hamburger.
Ingredients
- 1 pound 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 12-oz can evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Spray a 13x9 baking dish with cooking spray and preheat oven to 375 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 and pepper then whisk until smooth. Pour mixture over potato/beef/cheese layers.
- Cover dish tightly with aluminum foil then bake at 375 degrees for one hour. Remove foil then continue baking for an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender and dish is light golden brown and bubbly.
Notes
- If potatoes aren’t tender after total baking time, cover dish with aluminum foil and continue baking until potatoes are tender.
- Don’t use the reduced calorie/fat condensed soup in this recipe. I tried it once and the dish was dry and not as creamy.
