How To Make Hamburger Potato Casserole

First off you start by heating a skillet and adding your onions and cooking until it is tender.

Then add your ground beef and cook until it is all brown, and drain the grease.

Then in the same skillet, you want to add in the butter and melt it. Follow it by the flour, and whisk to make a roux. Then slowly mix in 3 cups of milk and add the cream.

Simmer on low for around 10 minutes so the sauce can thicken. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour a little sauce in the bottom of the 9×13 pan and start alternating layers of potato, onions, ground beef, cheese, and sauce.

Aim to make 2-3 layers of each.

Reserve some of the cheese to add to the top of the casserole.

Place in a preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes or until you can stick a fork into the potatoes and they are tender.

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 yellow onion chopped
1 lb ground beef
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups milk
1 pint heavy cream
5 potatoes thinly sliced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
2 cups shredded Monterey cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onions until tender; set aside. Cook ground beef until evenly brown and then drain excess grease. Set aside.
Using the same skillet, melt butter and then add flour. Stir with a whisk to combine, making a roux. Gradually whisk in 3 cups of milk and then add in the cream. Simmer while frequently stirring over medium-low heat for 10 minutes or until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat.
To prevent sticking, spread a small amount of sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 baking casserole dish. Alternate layers of potatoes, onions, ground beef, cheese and sauce, making 2-3 layers of each. Reserve some cheese to sprinkle over the top of the casserole.
Place in preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until potatoes are fork tender.
