Slice them thinly to ensure they cook evenly. Chop the onion finely, and set it aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it\u2019s browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease, then add the chopped onions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent. Season the beef with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir well to combine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>STEP 2: PREPARE THE SAUCE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. This mixture will add a creamy, rich flavor to the casserole and keep it moist while baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>STEP 3: ASSEMBLE THE CASSEROLE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Preheat your oven to&nbsp;<strong>350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).<\/strong>&nbsp;Grease a 9\u00d713-inch baking dish with a bit of butter or cooking spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>First Layer:<\/strong>\u00a0Arrange half of the sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom of the dish.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Second Layer:<\/strong>\u00a0Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Third Layer:<\/strong>\u00a0Pour half of the soup and milk mixture over the beef.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fourth Layer:<\/strong>\u00a0Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeat these layers once more, ending with cheese on top. Drizzle the melted butter over the final layer to enhance the flavor and help the top crisp up beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>STEP 4: BAKE THE CASSEROLE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for&nbsp;<strong>45 minutes<\/strong>. After this time, remove the foil and continue baking for another&nbsp;<strong>15 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are fork-tender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>STEP 5: LET IT REST &amp; SERVE<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once baked, let the casserole sit for about&nbsp;<strong>5 minutes<\/strong>&nbsp;before serving. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to slice. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm with a side of vegetables or a crisp salad for a complete meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips &amp; Variations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Add more veggies:<\/strong>\u00a0For extra nutrition, mix in some peas, corn, or bell peppers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use different cheese:<\/strong>\u00a0Try mozzarella or a blend of cheeses for a richer flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make it ahead:<\/strong>\u00a0Assemble the casserole a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake when ready to serve.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Switch up the soup:<\/strong>\u00a0Substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or cheddar soup for a different taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Make it spicy:<\/strong>\u00a0Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalape\u00f1os for a kick.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This&nbsp;<strong>Easy Hamburger Potato Casserole<\/strong>&nbsp;is the ultimate cozy meal, combining classic ingredients in a simple yet satisfying dish.
