Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 medium Onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Frozen Hash Browns, thawed
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese
  • 1/4 cup Milk
  • 1/4 cup Cream of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Cook the Ground Beef:

  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks.
  • Drain the excess fat and add the diced onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent.

Prepare the Potato Mixture:

  • In a large bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, milk, cream of mushroom soup, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Assemble the Casserole:

  • In a 9x13-inch baking dish, arrange half of the potato mixture in the bottom of the dish.
  • Add the cooked ground beef mixture on top of the potato mixture.
  • Top with the remaining potato mixture.

Dot with Butter:

  • Dot the top of the casserole with the butter.

Bake the Casserole:

  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is hot and bubbly.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Serve the Hamburger Potato Cheese Casserole hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired.

Notes

Tips and Variations:
  • Use different types of cheese, such as American or Colby, for a unique flavor profile.
  • Add some diced bell peppers or mushrooms to the ground beef mixture for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • Use leftover mashed potatoes instead of hash browns for a creamier casserole.
  • Serve with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Storage and Shelf Life:
  • Store leftover Hamburger Potato Cheese Casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze the casserole for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat in the oven until hot and bubbly.
