Description
This cheesy beef and potato casserole is a comforting dish made with ground beef, russet potatoes, and a creamy sauce topped with melted cheddar cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds russet potatoes (peeled & diced)
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion (chopped)
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
- Salt & pepper (to taste)
- 1 (10 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk (2% recommended)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (divided)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F and move the rack to the middle position.
- Add the potatoes to a greased 9×13 casserole dish.
- Add the beef and onions to a skillet and cook, breaking the meat up with your spoon as you go along, until browned (about 8-10 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
- To the skillet, add in the garlic and frozen mixed vegetables and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Season with some salt & pepper and transfer the mixture to the casserole dish.
- In a medium prep bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, and half of the cheddar cheese together.
- Pour the sauce mixture over top of the beef and potatoes, then stir and arrange it in an even layer.
- Cover the casserole tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Take the foil off, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the potatoes are tender.
- Let it sit for 5-10 minutes prior to serving, then season with extra salt & pepper as needed.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, use a higher fat content milk.
- Feel free to add more vegetables as desired.
