Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 can cream of celery soup
  • 1/2 can French onion soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned salt (or salt and pepper to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain off any excess grease. Season the cooked beef with seasoned salt.
  3. In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of celery soup, French onion soup, and milk. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Toss the thinly sliced potatoes with olive oil, black pepper, and a pinch of seasoned salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Spread half of the seasoned potatoes in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Spoon half of the cooked ground beef over the potatoes. Pour half of the creamy soup mixture evenly over the beef layer.
  7. Repeat the layering process: remaining potatoes, remaining beef, and the rest of the soup mixture.
  8. Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of melted butter evenly over the top layer.
  9. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, and return the casserole to the oven, uncovered. Bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before you serve it.

Notes

  • For faster cooking, ensure your potato slices are uniform and thin, about 1/8 inch thick.
  • You can substitute the three soups with one 10.5 ounce can of cream of chicken soup and one 10.5 ounce can of cream of mushroom soup if preferred.
  • This is a great make ahead casserole; assemble it completely, cover it, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking (add 10-15 minutes to the covered baking time).
