Easy Hamburger Potato Casserole

Preparing the Ingredients

1. Wash and thinly slice the potatoes (about ¼-inch thick) to ensure they cook evenly.
2. Finely chop the onion and, if using, dice the green bell pepper.

Cooking the Hamburger Mixture

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.
3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and set the beef mixture aside.

Assembling the Casserole

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir until smooth.
2. Grease your baking dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
3. Arrange a layer of potato slices at the bottom of the dish, followed by a layer of the beef mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of potatoes.
4. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the casserole. Top with shredded cheese.

Baking and Serving

1. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
3. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Tips for Perfect Hamburger Potato Casserole

• Slice the potatoes as evenly as possible to ensure uniform cooking.
• For a crispier topping, broil the casserole for 2-3 minutes after baking.
