3-Ingredient Beef Cheddar Potato Casserole
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Ground beef | 1 lb |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 2 cups |
| Frozen hash brown potatoes | 1 package (about 20 oz) |
How to Make It
Step 1: Heat the Oven & Brown the Beef
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the pound of ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it browns. Once fully cooked, drain off the excess fat.
Step 2: Combine the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the cooked beef, the two cups of shredded cheddar, and the 20-ounce bag of frozen hash browns until everything is evenly mixed.
Step 3: Bake While Covered
Transfer the mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Step 4: Bake Uncovered
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the top has a light golden color.
Step 5: Serve
Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before scooping and serving. Enjoy!
