Report
Just about everyone's mom or grandma had some version of creamy hamburger potato casserole for dinner. An easy recipe, old-fashioned hamburger casserole relies on creamy canned soup and a few other simple ingredients for its flavor and texture!

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef ground chicken, ground turkey, ground pork, or, ground sausage
- 3-4 cups potatoes peeled, cut into thin slices or in ¾ inch chunks
- 2 cups fresh mushrooms sliced
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 2 cans (10 ¾ oz) condensed cream of mushroom celery or tomato soup
- 1 cup broth vegetable, chicken or beef
- ½ cup heavy cream (35%)
- 1 tablespoon paprika more or less to taste
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
- cooking spray
Topping
- 2 cups shredded cheese more or less to taste
- 1 cup crispy fried onions
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese more or less to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a 13x9 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Prepare your potatoes and slice them.
- In a large skillet sauté onions, mushrooms, and garlic.
- Add ground meat and cook until no longer pink. Drain if necessary. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine soup, broth, cream, paprika, salt and pepper with a whisk.
- Layer about half of the potatoes across the bottom of your prepared pan. They can overlap and should touch. Your goal is to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
- Next, pour about half of the soup mixture over top of the potatoes. Then dump half the meat mixture and followed by the cheese.
- Repeat all the layers in the same order with the remaining ingredients.
- Top with fried onions and more cheese.
- Cover with lightly sprayed aluminum foil or lid and bake for 90 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Make sure to coat your lid or tinfoil in cooking spray so the cheeses do not stick to it.
- Remove cover and broil to brown the cheese, if desired. Allow to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- This casserole is to the moon good but if you want to switch things up a bit and need another recipe for a cheap casserole that will feed a large family...check out the list in that link and the world will be your oyster, so to speak!
- Slice the potatoes evenly. This ensures the cheesy hamburger casserole cooks evenly.
- Cook the ground beef first. This browns the beef but also makes it easy to drain off any excess grease so it doesn't end up in your casserole.
- Spray the side of the foil facing the casserole with cooking spray. This keeps the cheese from sticking and coming off the casserole when you uncover it.
