• In a greased casserole dish, layer 3 of the potatoes.
• Layer hot ground beef mix over the top.
• Topping with the last 3 potatoes.
• Heat milk in pan that you used to cook the ground beef.
• Pour heated milk over casserole. Hopefully 1 cup will work as directions say to experiment, poke potatoes during cooking and add more if necessary.
• Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour to 1 hour and 15 minutes.
• Removing foil last 20 minutes of baking to brown potatoes on top.

CREAMY HAMBURGER POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 7x11-inch baking pan.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
• Mix 1 can cream of mushroom soup, mushrooms, 3/4 cup milk, seasoned salt, and black pepper in a bowl; fold in potatoes.
• Spread half the potato mixture into the prepared baking pan; top with Cheddar cheese. Spoon 1/2 the ground beef over cheese layer. Top ground beef layer with remaining potato mixture; layer with remaining ground beef.
• Mix remaining 1 can cream of mushroom soup with 1/4 cup milk; pour mixture over ground beef layer.
• Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is bubbling, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Sprinkle French-fried onions over casserole; return to oven for 5 more minutes.

HAMBURGER POTATO CHEESE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• I use a 2 1/2 quart covered casserole dish for this. This will stick unless you have a great non-stick baking dish - I never grease the pan though because of all the fat that's already in this.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Brown hamburger and onion.
• Place a layer of sliced potatoes in casserole dish, top with half of hamburger/onion mixture. Salt and pepper to taste (kind of depends on how salty your cheese sauce is - you can always salt it later if it needs it).
• Repeat layering of potato slices and hamburger mixture (and salt and pepper if desired).
• Make Cheese sauce:.
• Melt 3 T butter in saucepan over med-high heat.
• Add 3 T flour, and the salt and pepper. Stir quickly to blend.
• Add 2 cups milk; stir with whisk to incorporate butter/flour mixture.
• Reduce heat, stir till thickened and bubbly.
• Remove from heat and add shredded cheddar. Stir until cheese melts.
• Pour cheese sauce over hamburger and potatoes in baking dish. Push potatoes around to let cheese sauce into all of the crevices so it's well coated.
• Cover and place in oven. Bake for about 1 1/2 hours, till potatoes are tender and top is browned. I like to take off the lid for the last 20 minutes or so to brown the top a bit.
• Even with the leanest ground beef, this can get little pools of grease on top - I just spoon these off. It doesn't mean the whole thing is greasy - just cheesy.
• My family members consider generous amounts of ketchup a necessary addition to this dish. I like it fine by itself (ok, maybe a spot of ketchup on the side).
