Creamy Hamburger Potato Casserole

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 7x11-inch baking dish.

2. 2

   Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it apart as it cooks, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain off the fat and set aside.

3. 3

   In a bowl, mix one can of cream of mushroom soup with the mushrooms, most of the milk, seasoned salt, and black pepper. Fold in the sliced potatoes until evenly coated.

4. 4

   Layer half of the potato mixture in the baking dish, then scatter cheddar cheese on top. Spoon half of the cooked beef over the cheese, then cover with the remaining potato mixture and finish with the remaining beef.

5. 5

   Stir together the second can of cream of mushroom soup with the remaining milk and pour the mixture evenly over the top layer of beef.

6. 6

   Bake until the casserole is bubbling throughout, approximately 1 hour 20 minutes. Scatter the French-fried onions on top and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
