✅ Ingredients

1 lb ground beef (80% lean)

1 (10.75 oz) can cream of mushroom soup

1 (10.75 oz) can cream of cheddar cheese soup

30 oz frozen cubed potatoes (hash brown-style)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

📖 Instructions

Cook Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.

Mix Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef, cream of mushroom soup, cream of cheddar cheese soup, frozen cubed potatoes, and 1 ½ cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until evenly coated.

Assemble Casserole

Transfer mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread evenly.

Top with Cheese

Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Bake

Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 45–50 minutes, or until hot, bubbly, and golden on top.

Serve & Enjoy

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

🔑 Notes & Tips

You can substitute the potatoes with tater tots or diced cooked potatoes for variation.

Add extra flavor by mixing in chopped onions, bell peppers, or a dash of garlic powder.

For a crispier top, broil for 2–3 minutes after baking.

🌟 Variations

Spicy Kick: Stir in diced jalapeños or use pepper jack cheese.

Veggie Boost: Add a cup of frozen peas, green beans, or corn before baking.

Breakfast Twist: Replace ground beef with breakfast sausage and serve with eggs.

❄️ Storage

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days.

Freezer: Assemble (without baking) and freeze up to 2 months. Bake from frozen, adding 10–15 minutes.
