Hearty Ground Beef Potato Casserole | Easy Budget Family Meal


This hearty ground beef potato casserole has been a staple in our home for years. It’s simple, filling, budget-friendly, and made with ingredients most families already have in the pantry. During times of rising grocery prices, this is one of those comfort meals that stretches ground beef while still feeding a hungry family.

This potato casserole is one of my family's favorite dishes. If you haven't tried any of my recipe's, don't pass this one up. It's easy to make, economical, and a staple!

Peel potatoes and thinly slice.

Mix in a family sized Cream of Mushroom soup with the ground beef.

Pour mixture into pan.


Layer potato slices on top of mixture, and along sides of pan. Salt and pepper. Bake at 350 -400 for 1 to 1.2 hours (depending on how crispy you want the potatoes.)

Unfortunately my dh being the picky eater that he is ... won't let me use any cream soup in my recipes. There's so many things I can't make because of that! This being one of them! :o( It looks yummy though!
