Baked Meat and Potato Casserole with Cheese – Page 2

Prepare the creamy sauce: In a bowl, mix cream soup and milk or cream to create a rich, flavorful base.

Layer the casserole: In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, then half of the meat mixture, and a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers and pour the creamy sauce evenly over the top.

Bake: Cover with foil and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 1 hour, until potatoes are tender and the casserole is bubbling.

Finish with cheese: Remove the foil, add a final sprinkle of cheese on top, and bake uncovered for another 10-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Rest and serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to let the layers set.

Tips for the Perfect Casserole

Slice potatoes evenly for uniform cooking.
