Ingredients Needed

Ground Beef – we like 85% lean or leaner
Potatoes – Yukon gold don’t require peeling and seem to tenderize a little faster
Carrots – We slice fresh, but frozen works too. Take a test bite and cook until tender before serving.
Vegetable Beef Soup – has a much meatier flavor than plain vegetable soup
Cream of Mushroom Soup – can substitute for cream of onion if you don’t like mushrooms
Water – helps dilute the soup, only use 3/4 cup or the casserole will turn into soup

Ingredients to make Hamburger Potato Casserole are yukon gold potatoes, ground beef, vegetable soup, cream of mushroom soup and a fresh carrot on a wooden counter top.

Variations To This Classic Beef and Potato Casserole

Through testing we determined that vegetable beef soup is far superior in this recipe to vegetable soup that just doesn’t have the same deep, meaty flavor.
A medium chopped onion can be added to the skillet of drained ground beef and cooked until onion is tender.
Can sprinkle 1 to 2 cups of cheddar cheese on top based on personal preference.
