Variations Ideas
- Cheese – Feel free to change the cheese to what you prefer. Monterey Jack, sharp cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, or pepper jack cheese.

Step 4 – In a mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Set aside.
Step 5 – 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.

Step 7 – Remover foil and bake another 30 minutes until potatoes are fork tender.
- Step 8 – Allow it to sit for 10 minutes, then cut and serve.
Recipe Tips
- Prepare Ingredients – When slicing the potatoes, try to make them about the same size so that it cooks evenly.
- Baking Dish – Prepare the baking dish by spraying with cooking spray to help with cleanup and serving the potato casserole.
- Cooking Time – Cooking time will vary based on your oven and the potatoes. You will know the casserole is done when the potatoes are fork tender.
Serving Suggestions
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.
Thisoven roasted asparagusis a family favorite and it is very simple and quick to make.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to Freeze 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 refrigeratorovernight 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.
How to Store Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
How to Reheat Leftovers
Reheat the leftovers in the microwave or in the oven depending on how much you have leftover.
