Delicious! Nine years later and people still love it! I always get asked to bring it to gatherings.

Put this recipe on paper.

Family kitchens throughout the Midwest have been welcoming this cherished dish for hamburger potato cheese casserole for decades. As the days get longer and the nights become cooler, this recipe evokes warm memories of family gatherings for a hearty meal during harvest season. From the seasoned ground beef on the bottom to the cheesy, creamy potatoes on top, every layer of this dish embodies comfort and simplicity.

This casserole can fulfill your need for a comforting meal or your desire to relive a simpler period at the dinner table.

To balance the heavy casserole flavors, try serving it with a fresh green salad and a homemade vinaigrette.
