Burgers (that is, minced meat) and potato casserole are classics! Grandmothers and mothers everywhere had their own way of making this iconic casserole. But the main players have always been the same: ground beef, potatoes, and cheese. Lots of cheese.
This easy old fashioned burger casserole recipe is a satisfying blend of ground beef, russet potatoes, onions, garlic, cream of mushroom soup, chicken broth, heavy cream, paprika and cheddar cheese. Place the ingredients in layers in a baking dish before covering and baking until the potatoes are tender.
Instead of russet potatoes, you can use Yukon Gold potatoes. If you’re not a fan of cheddar, try mozzarella, monterey jack, colby jack, gruyere, an italian or mexican blend, or pepper jack for a little spice. Ground turkey can be substituted for ground beef. For extra nutrition, add mushrooms when cooking ground beef, onions, and garlic.
