Put this hearty casserole in your recipe box because, after one bite, it will become a new family favorite. It's similar to a shepherd's pie... but so much more.

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb lean ground beef (the leaner the better)
1/2 pkg onion soup mix
2 can(s) green beans
1 can(s) Campbell's tomato soup (don't use off brand)
2 pkg 4 cheese mashed potatoes mix (sold in individual packets at the store) plus ingredients to prepare potatoes
2 c shredded cheddar cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
1 can(s) French's Cheddar French Fried onions
3 Tbsp butter (optional)
sour cream (optional)
chopped bacon (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet brown ground beef. About 1/2 way through cooking the beef add in 1/2 a package of onion soup mix, and let it cook the rest of the way with the beef. Taste this before adding any additional salt, as the onion soup mix can be quite salty on its own!
  • 2. Drain the beef completely and pat it dry to soak up any additional grease left behind.
  • 3. While the beef is cooking, prepare your potatoes per package directions.
  • 4. I usually add in sour cream, butter, and chopped bacon to the potatoes for extra flavor.
  • 5. In a deep oven-safe dish or a 9x13 baking dish spread a layer of potatoes in the bottom.
  • 6. Layer the remaining ingredients as follows: beef mixture, green beans, tomato soup, and French's cheddar onions if you're using them.
  • 7. Finally, top with the last part of the mashed potatoes.
  • 8. Place casserole in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until heated through and the potatoes begin to get a golden color.
  • 9. At the last 5 minutes, sprinkle cheese over top of the dish. Cook until melted completely. This is an all-in-one dish and can be served with a light salad on the side.

Tips:

  • Use a lean ground beef for a healthier option.
  • Add chopped vegetables, such as carrots, celery, and onions, to the casserole for extra nutrition.
  • Use a variety of cheeses to create a more flavorful casserole. Cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • If you don't have a casserole dish, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
  • Serve the casserole with a side salad or bread to complete the meal.

Conclusion:

Hearty hamburger casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. The casserole can be customized to fit your own taste preferences, and it is a great way to use up leftover ground beef.
