How to make Ground Beef Potato Bake
Step 1 – Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a cutting board, slice the potatoes and dice the onions.
Step 2 – In a skillet, brown the ground beef, onions, salt, and pepper over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the grease and set aside.
Step 3 – In a bowl stir together the cream of mushroom soup, ground beef mixture, and the onion powder.
Step 4 – In a greased 8×8″ casserole dish, layer 1/2 of the peeled and sliced potatoes in the bottom of the dish, and 1/2 of the ground beef mixture, followed by 1/2 cup of the cheese. Then sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper and repeat this 1 time.
Step 5 – Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
Step 6 – Check the potatoes to ensure they are tender at this time, then keep them uncovered and sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
Step 7 – Bake for an additional 2-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
