Ingredients
Scale
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of celery soup
1/2 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
4 cups thinly sliced potatoes (about 1.5 lbs)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, milk, and 1 cup of cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the beef mixture.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish.
Top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Let it stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a creamier casserole, you can use half-and-half instead of milk.
If you don’t have cream of mushroom or celery soup, you can substitute with two cans of cream of chicken soup.
This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
For a make-ahead and freezer-friendly option, assemble the casserole (without baking), cover tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
Serve with a side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
