🧾Ingredients
You need simple ingredients for an easy recipe
- Ground Beef - one pound of ground beef is all you need
- Onion - or, if you have those picky eaters that won't touch onions (my daughter), just add a teaspoon of onion powder.
- Cream of Chicken soup - adding a can of soup will add creaminess to the hamburger meat.
- Vegetables - a bag of frozen mixed vegetables are easy to toss into this casserole.
- Shredded potatoes - I find the refrigerator hash browns work the best for this recipe
- Butter - just half a stick of butter
- Cheddar Cheese - you will mix the cheese into the potatoes and on top of hash browns
- Olive oil
- Salt and black pepper
🥣 Let's bake
Step 1. Chop the onion and add it to a large skillet with olive oil. Saute the onion then add the hamburger, salt, and pepper.

Step 3. Add the frozen vegetables to the brown ground beef then mix the soup and milk and add to the skillet.
Step 4. Stir the mixture until thoroughly combined.
Step 5. Pour the ground beef mixture into a greased casserole dish
Step 6. Melt the butter then add it to a large bowl with the hash brown potatoes, and half of the cheese, and mix together.
Step 7. Spread the potatoes over the ground beef mixture and bake in a 375-degree oven for a half hour.
Step 8. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the casserole and bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are golden brown.
This casserole is just so delicious with cheesy potatoes and a creamy meat filling. We like to serve this all-in-one dish with this Caesar Salad with Bacon and when corn is in season, we like to make Grilled Corn on the Cob. Add these quick-to-make Homemade Biscuits, they can bake right along with this casserole.

👩🍳FAQ's
What is the difference between ground beef and hamburger?
Yes, there is a difference, ground beef is made directly from pieces of meat trimmings which also includes fat, and ground beef, it can only be 30% fat. Hamburger is ground beef that has more fat added to it.

Heat the oven to 375° F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
Dice the onion and add it to a skillet set over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Cook the onion until it is translucent then add the ground beef. Stir and cook the hamburger until it's cooked and brown. Drain off any excess grease.
In a small bowl add the can of soup and mix it with the milk.
To the cooked ground beef add the frozen vegetables, the soup, and salt and pepper. Mix this thoroughly and then add to the baking pan and spread it to the edges.
In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded potatoes, 1 cup of cheese, and the melted butter. Stir to combine and then spread over the hamburger mixture.
Bake the casserole for 30 minutes, then add the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese then continue baking for 15 minutes until the hash browns are golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Let the casserole sit for about 15 minutes before serving. This will let it firm up, but of course, you can dig right in.
