Hamburger Potato Cheese Casserole

Features:
    Cuisine:

    We really like this dish. My wife is a very picky about casseroles, but loves this dish. I added a med size onion and two tablespoons of minced garlic to the hamburger. To the sauce I added one teaspoon of dry mustard and one eighth teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Without any changes it is a good dish, this just adds a little zing to it.

    Steps

    1
    Done

    use a 2 1/2 Quart Covered Casserole Dish For This. This Will Stick Unless You Have a Great Non-Stick Baking Dish - I Never Grease the Pan Though Because of All the Fat That's Already in This.

    2
    Done

    Preheat Oven to 350.

    3
    Done

    Brown Hamburger and Onion.

    4
    Done

    Place a Layer of Sliced Potatoes in Casserole Dish, Top With Half of Hamburger/Onion Mixture. Salt and Pepper to Taste (kind of Depends on How Salty Your Cheese Sauce Is - You Can Always Salt It Later If It Needs It).

    5
    Done

    Repeat Layering of Potato Slices and Hamburger Mixture (and Salt and Pepper If Desired).

    6
    Done

    Make Cheese Sauce:

    7
    Done

    Melt 3 T Butter in Saucepan Over Med-High Heat.

    8
    Done

    Add 3 T Flour, and the Salt and Pepper. Stir Quickly to Blend.

    9
    Done

    Add 2 Cups Milk; Stir With Whisk to Incorporate Butter/Flour Mixture.

    10
    Done

    Reduce Heat, Stir Till Thickened and Bubbly.

    11
    Done

    Remove from Heat and Add Shredded Cheddar. Stir Until Cheese Melts.

    12
    Done

    Pour Cheese Sauce Over Hamburger and Potatoes in Baking Dish. Push Potatoes Around to Let Cheese Sauce Into All of the Crevices So It's Well Coated.

    13
    Done

    Cover and Place in Oven. Bake For About 1 1/2 Hours, Till Potatoes Are Tender and Top Is Browned. I Like to Take Off the Lid For the Last 20 Minutes or So to Brown the Top a Bit.

    14
    Done

    Even With the Leanest Ground Beef, This Can Get Little Pools of Grease on Top - I Just Spoon These Off. It Doesn't Mean the Whole Thing Is Greasy - Just Cheesy.

    15
    Done

    My Family Members Consider Generous Amounts of Ketchup a Necessary Addition to This Dish. I Like It Fine by Itself (ok, Maybe a Spot of Ketchup on the Side).
