How to Make a Delicious Hamburger and Potato Casserole

 

Classic Hamburger and Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Colby Jack, or your favorite)

1 ½ cups beef broth

½ cup heavy cream

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp dried thyme (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. Cook the beef: In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess grease. Add onion and garlic, cooking for another 2 minutes.

3. Layer the casserole: Place half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, season lightly with salt and pepper, then spread half of the beef mixture on top. Repeat the layers.

4. Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and thyme. Pour evenly over the casserole.

5. Bake covered: Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

6. Add cheese and finish baking: Remove foil, sprinkle cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted.

7. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
