Hamburger Potato Casserole

Total Time Prep: 10 min. Bake: 50 min.

Yield 6 servings

A fun riff on cottage pie, this hearty hamburger potato casserole has a crispy potato crust, so it hits a little different.

Ingredients

4 cups thinly sliced peeled potatoes
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound ground beef
1 package (10 ounces) frozen corn
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of celery soup, undiluted
1/3 cup 2% milk
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon chopped onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
Minced fresh parsley, optional

Directions

In a large bowl, toss potatoes with butter and salt; arrange on the bottom and up the sides of a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 25-30 minutes or until potatoes are almost tender.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Sprinkle the beef and corn over potatoes. Combine soup, milk, garlic powder, pepper, onion and 1/2 cup cheese; pour over the beef mixture.
Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

For variety, you can use another kind of cream soup (cream of mushroom, for instance). But try this meat and potato casserole this way first.—Marna Heitz, Farley, Iowa
