My Mom found the recipe in the paper. I love this dish at Longhorn’s and I was really excited to try it at home!”

Now, let’s start layering the Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole. In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of sliced potatoes. Sprinkle the potatoes with salt, pepper, and paprika for added flavor. Next, spread half of the cooked ground beef over the potato layer, followed by half of the sautéed onion and garlic mixture. Drizzle a generous amount of the cheese sauce over the beef, ensuring it covers the entire layer.

Repeat the layers by adding another layer of potatoes, ground beef, onion and garlic mixture, and cheese sauce. Top it off with a final layer of sliced potatoes and a sprinkle of salt, pepper, and paprika. This layering technique ensures that every bite of the casserole is packed with all the delicious ingredients.

Step 5: Baking the Casserole

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbling. The aroma of the casserole filling your kitchen is a sign that it’s almost time to indulge in this savory delight.

Step 6: Serving and Enjoying

Once the Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole is out of the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors settle and make it easier to slice into portions. Serve the casserole with a fresh side salad or steamed vegetables to complete the meal. Each forkful of this delicious dish will reward you with the perfect combination of savory ground beef, creamy potatoes, and melty cheese.
