Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of celery soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is fully browned. Drain off any excess grease. Season the cooked beef with seasoned salt and pepper. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Toss the thinly sliced potatoes with the olive oil in a separate bowl.
  5. Spread half of the seasoned ground beef evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Layer half of the sliced potatoes over the beef layer. Pour half of the soup mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Repeat the layers: remaining ground beef, remaining potatoes, remaining soup mixture, and top with the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
  8. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Bake for 45 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before you serve it hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can season the ground beef with onion powder and garlic powder while cooking.
  • If you prefer thinner potato layers, use a mandoline slicer, but slice carefully.
  • This recipe makes excellent leftovers for meal prep lunches.
