Ground Beef and Potato Casserole

 Patricia Ferguson (Ohio) says:
The ingredients together were great, loved it! I struggled on what size and shape of dish to use for baking (an important part to baking time). I used an oblong dish and it cooked too fast, was burning the beef so I stopped the cooking time to 35 minutes. I am guessing that the next time I make, I will put in a 2-2 1/2 qt. casserole dish. Also felt that I should have used just a little more water in the soup, maybe 1/2 cup. Yes, I will make this again, great meal!!

It was a great surprise to find this recipe. It really is excellent - comfort food! My Mom used to make this. To add an extra bit of flavor, try adding sliced carrots to each layer.

Great recipe....I added green, yellow, and red peppers (diced) and garlic to the beef when browning and it added a lot of flavor to the overall dish....thx

Loved this super easy recipe! I added garlic salt when browning the beef and, when it was completely baked, I actually mixed all the layers and everything together. Delish!!

We have a family of 4 with 2 hungry teenage boys. I changed the recipe some to perfection. I used a 10 x 13" glass dish and baked on 400°F 30 - 45 minutes until potatoes were tender. I added 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom with 1 1/2 can water. I also added one small can of sliced mushrooms. I sprinkled some dried Thyme between the layers and topped with bacon bits. YUMMY!!!!

Great recipe the way it is. The second time I made this I changed it a bit and had wonderful results. Instead of cream of mushroom soup I used Cambell's Nacho Cheese Soup and then I added a small can of diced green chills. Very good and completely different flavor.

I added Lipton Beefy onion mix to the beef mixture as soon as it was at the end of cooking in the pan with onions. DELICIOUS addition!

It sounded too boring,so I added 7oz. green chile on top of the potato layer. We happened to have 2 (10 oz. ?) small cans of potatoes, so I used them. I baked the casserole only 20 min. The dish wasn't very filling but, my family loved it!

This is a great recipe. I substituted tofu for the beef and it was super yummy!

This is a great base recipe. It is tasty as is but you can also do so much to it! I added garlic salt to the meat and onion when cooking. Then I added a layer of corn and cubes of Velveeta Queso Blanco on top of each layer of the soup mixture. Gooey and good!

This is also very good with ground sausage and cheese:)

 Shaelyn (Washington) says:
Great recipe, I mixed about 1/3 cup sour cream in the soup and water mix and seasoned the soup mixture instead of the meat. I also added a can of drained green beans to my soup mixture. Almost like a glorified green beam casserole, lol.

 Bob (Minnesota) says:
My mom used to make this, but she sliced the onions very thinly and had them bake rather than frying them with the ground beef.

This recipe is similar to one my great grandmother used to make. What makes this casserole next level is by adding golden mushroom soup and old fashioned vegetable soup.
