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 9x13 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.
