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 recipe is awesome!!!
I’m glad you liked it!!
UPDATE: Made it with 1&1/2 pounds of meat, one bag of Simply Potatoes (cubed), steamed broccoli(2 minutes in microwave) and everything else the same as the original recipe except…added some cheese to the sauce and a bit more on the first layer as well. Baked 45 minutes covered, uncovered it and turned on the broiler for a few minutes to brown the cheese (watch it so it doesn’t burn!). Amazing! Now it’s 5 stars if I do say so myself!
Yum! I love that you added broccoli. I will need to try that sometime!
It’s good…made a couple of tweaks to it, though. Seasoned the meat and onions, used Simply Potatoes instead of fresh, baked for about 50 minutes and turned on the broiler after uncovering it to brown the cheese a bit. Next time, more meat and less potatoes, add veggies, and layer some cheese in the middle. A winner overall!
I am so glad you liked it Marcie! Maybe I will try it with your adjustments next time!
I made this for dinner last night & really liked it! Next time I will cook it longer though, the potatoes weren’t cooked all the way. I would say cook it for 1 hour & 15 minutes or so!
I am so glad you liked it!
Good to know, I think I am going to change the cooking time range, because it seems like a lot of people had trouble with it.
Looks delish… going to try this tonight. For everybody that says the potatoes are not cooked all the way, try microwaving the potatoes first and then cube them. Simple fix for under cooked potatoes.
Thanks Billie! Hope it turns out for you! 🙂
I agree. This recipe is pure comforting and warm the house and our bellies on a cool night. Pure yummy and 5 stars.
I am so glad you like it Debby 🙂
I really enjoyed this recipe. I had to cook it extra because like others the potatoes were still firm. I added a bit of shredded cheese in the sauce. I think it could have used a little salt or season salt, but all in all a yummy easy dinner!
Thanks for the feedback Trish. Glad you liked it!
Wow! This is pure delicious comfort food. Ground beef, potatoes and cheese is nothing short of perfection. I love a good casserole to eat on a weeknight when you don’t have a lot of time to cook. Looking forward to trying this one for sure!
Thanks Michele! Let me know if you try it out!
This looks like the best type of comfort food, perfect for this time of the year.
I totally agree. Thanks Michelle!
I would have went back for seconds, thirds, and fourths of this casserole too! It looks like it would stick to my bones, which I need! 🤣
‘Tis the season! Think of it as insulation for the cold months 😉
So much goodness in one pan! I’m with you on the grocery shopping too. Normally I love it, but when the weather is gross or my babies are cranky it is the WORST. This is such a great pantry/fridge stable.
Yes!! This is a staple meal in my house!
Love the recipe. This casserole looks soo good and delicious. I will try this for my family soon. YUM!
I hope you do. It is one of my favourites!
Hamburger casserole, what a fantastic flavorful dish, so feeling too! Ground beef and potatoes do so well together!
Thanks Ruchi! I make it way too often because I always have all of the ingredients on hand!
Looks delicious! This would be awesome for a meal prep!
Thanks Gina!! It really would 😉
This looks like the perfect winter comfort food dinner! I think I would use sweet potatoes and squash instead of white potatoes- I am a sweet potato addict and this looks too good!
Oh yes! This would be so good with sweet potatoes!
Love how easy this is to make and of course, that glorious cheese! Yes, please! Perfect comfort meal!
Right? This is the time for comfort food!
