This Hamburger Hashbrown Casserole is ground beef, shredded hashbrowns, cream of mushroom soup, and melted cheddar all baked together in one dish — a hearty weeknight dinner for just $2.70 a serving that my kids request on repeat.
2cupsShredded Cheddar Cheesedivided (1/2 cup for the casserole mixture, 1 1/2 cups for the topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown ground beef until fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cooked ground beef, shredded hash brown potatoes that have been thawed, chopped onion, milk, cream of mushroom soup, and ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese. Reserve the remaining 1 ½ cups of cheese for topping the casserole later.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the hash browns are golden brown and tender.
Sprinkle the remaining 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the top and bake for 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
Let the casserole rest at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
