Ground Beef Casserole with Potatoes is a hearty and comforting one-pan dish featuring layers of tender potatoes, seasoned ground beef, creamy sauce, and melted cheddar cheese—perfect for a cozy family dinner.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
  4. Stir in salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme. Mix well and remove from heat.
  5. In a bowl, combine the sour cream and milk. Stir until smooth.
  6. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom, then spread half of the ground beef mixture over the potatoes. Repeat with remaining potatoes and beef.
  7. Pour the sour cream mixture evenly over the casserole. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly.
  10. Let the casserole rest a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline for evenly sliced potatoes.
  • Try different cheeses like gouda or Monterey Jack for variety.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze unbaked casserole for up to 3 months.
