Meat and Potato Casserole

This is such a simple casserole to make, it only has a few simple ingredients, and this dish can be eaten for lunch or dinner. The whole family is going to love this potato and meat casserole.

When you make this ground beef casserole with potatoes, you will have much more time with the family, and less cleaning to do in the kitchen.

This casserole is similar to a scalloped potato casserole with ground beef. This recipe has slightly different ingredients, and tastes so much more savory and delicious. Simple sliced potatoes, ground beef and a creamy sauce with loads of cheese.

Who does not enjoy a simple dish that gives them free time to spend with the family? A recipe that is versatile, tasty, simple and classic, as well as comforting.

Is there a certain type of potato that should be used in this dish?

For me, I prefer to use Yukon Gold potatoes as they hold up better to baking in a liquid base. They are sturdy, waxier and have a lot of flavor to them.

Can I use beef stew meat or leftover Roast?

Recipes are meant to be versatile, you can use different ingredients, based on what you have available. I would imagine using roast that has been cut into bite sized pieces would be ultimately the same.

What makes this recipe special?

This dish is easy to put together, takes very few ingredients and everyone will love the flavor.

What can I serve as a side dish?

Any steamed, roasted or grilled vegetables will work with the dish. A simple garden salad would be a nice accompaniment to the Potatoes and Meat Casserole.
