Easy Ground Beef Potato Casserole recipe. Like a hamburger all in one dish. The ultimate quick weeknight comfort food.
Happy Valentine’s Day! What are you all up to today?
If you are eating comfort food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, then I think you came to the right place. Because if this food doesn’t SCREAM comfort food, then I don’t know what does.
Plus, I am sure you have most of the ingredients at home anyways. This is what I call: toss everything into a casserole and hope for the best.
Some days, it is really all about what you have on hand. I usually, capital L, Love food shopping.But lately, it is so cold and icy that nothing is making me want to risk my life to get some food. So I gotta work with what I’ve got.
And what have I got at home? I have ground beef, potatoes, cream of mushroom soup and cheese. If you are even a little bit of a casserole fan, I am sure your mind went to making a casserole out of those ingredients too.
If it didn’t, shame on you!
I went back for seconds, thirds AND fourths of this Ground Beef Potato Casserole. It is that good.
And it is so easy to make! If you can brown ground beef, you can make this recipe. Guaranteed.
This recipe reminds me of something my brother would make for dinner every night when he was in university. I always thought that he was crazy. Why would you want to eat the same thing every night when there were so many other food flavours and pairings that you could be trying??
Friends, I think I know the answer. Once you find a simple comfort food recipe that is reliable AND tastes good, it is hard giving it up.

This is really good! I baked the potatoes in the microwave first and used ground turkey and chicken broth. Turned out good!!
So glad you liked it!
Planning on making this again for dinner-here it is February and cold/rainy outside and this is a great dish for this time of year! Both husband & I enjoy this recipe, easy to make with staples you already have on hand! ❤️
Yay!! That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
Sure does need seasonings!
I used a roll of Jimmy Dean Sausage instead of the hamburger, and added some garlic, garlic powder and onion powder. Baked for 75 minutes covered, and uncovered then baked for another 20 minutes. It came out fantastic, with no issues with the potatoes which were cooked through nicely. Served with some green beans.
I’ll have to try that version, it sounds really good!
I always par boil my fresh cut potatoes for when i make scallop potstoes ..i cook them like you would be making it for potatoe salad makes a BIG DIFFERENCE IN potatoes being cooked and less time to bake
This was very good and hubby loved it. I did microwave the potatoes prior to cubing which really cut down the bake time. Also added Montreal Hamburger Seasoning to the ground beef, really adds flavor to the beef. Will definitely make again!
So glad you liked it! Thanks Laura 🙂
