A delicious and hearty main dish, this ground beef and potato casserole is as simple and easy to make as it gets.
Easy Potato Casserole
When we say easy, we mean easy. Simply fry the ground beef and then layer the ingredients in a baking dish, place in the oven and remove when ready. The minimal prep time make this a great family dinner option through the work week and it even tastes better as a leftover dish the next day!
Although we usually use tomato juice in this casserole, we’ve also used a can of tomato soup and even a jar of marinara sauce and the results are just as tasty. And if you don’t have a fresh onion, use minced onions instead! So not only is it easy to make, there are plenty of ingredient options to try depending on what you have in your cupboards.
