Let’s get started!

Make sure you have a 9×13 pan. 

You also will need a nice 9×13 casserole dish  to bake the casserole in.  Amazon has some on sale right now!

This is a great meal to take to someone recovering from surgery or that just had a baby.  You can use one of these foil pans and clean up is a breeze.

Sometimes we even use these pans on crazy busy nights. Less clean up!

We also like to make 2 of these and put one in the freezer. Talk about a life saver on busy nights.

I can’t tell you the times I have been temped to head toward a drive thru but remembered I had one of these casserole dishes in the freezer. It is a win all around for sure!

Not only will you save money but everyone gets to enjoy a delicious meal. It is a win for everyone!

Ingredients for easy hamburger potato casserole:

  • 5 small potatoes
  • 2 lbs of ground beef, browned
  • 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 ½ cups of milk

How to make hamburger casserole:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Brown your ground beef and set aside

Peel and slice potatoes and set aside. We use this easy mandoline slicer to cut our potatoes quickly.

In a mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Set aside.

Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non stick spray.

Layer in the pan, potatoes, beef, soup, and cheese. Then repeat. Top with remaining cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour

Remover foil and bake another 30 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.

Allow it to sit for 10 minutes, then cut and serve.

What to serve with hamburger meat casserole:

I personally like to serve it with a side salad because that makes dinner done with no extra work. However,  steamed broccoli (see how to steam broccoli in the microwave easily) would also be amazing without any extra work.

Green beans also taste great and make a simple side dish as well. This meal is also good with asparagus.

This oven roasted asparagus is a family favorite and it is very simple and quick to make.

Just keep it simple.

How to freeze this hamburger potato casserole:

Now this is an easy freezer meal. However, raw potatoes don’t freeze that great, so I suggest you replace the potatoes with a package of frozen hash browns.

Layer just like you would with the hash browns. Cover with foil and freeze.

Then allow it to thaw in your refrigerator overnight and cook according to directions above. If it is still frozen in the middle cook with it covered for 1 ½ hours and then 30 minutes uncovered.

I do recommend you freeze it in one of these 9×13 foil pans. Then cover with foil. Add one of these freezer labels and place in side a 2 gallon freezer bag to keep it fresh.

  1. I added a chopped onion to the hamburger. I’m considering a sm can of chopped mushrooms next time. Thank you for the idea and the recipe

  2. I want to know can you peel and dice the potatoes, and preboil them, until almost done add everything in casserole and bake 30 minutes or so instead of icing potatoes. I don’t have that slicer thing and my slices aren’t thin and even to cook well

    After reading the comments, I added some onion flakes and a little garlic powder. Also I used xtra sharp cheddar. Absolutely delicious! Adding this to a monthly rotation.

    I made this last night. Thank you for the idea. I added cottage cheese to the layers and made my own soup base (allergies to the ingredients in cream of mushroom soup).

  5. 5 stars
    Just made this for my family and they loved it!! I added onions in with the beef and then subbed one can of cream of mushroom for tomato paste. It gave it the perfect “cheeseburger with ketchup” flavor!!

    I cubed my potatoes because I find slices stick together making it difficult to get the sauce distributed. I made my own cream of mushroom soup adding a tbsp of Better than Bouillon chicken and fried my potatoes before adding. This allowed me to season them and bake for 35 minutes which works out much better for me. May sound like a lot of changes but the character of the recipe remains the same. Good recipe and I’ll be making frequently.

  8. All of these seem very easy and well thought out. We are going to try one tonight
