A corny cheeseburger potato casserole is a comforting and flavorful dish that combines the classic elements of a cheeseburger with the heartiness of potatoes. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 4 cups potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add chopped onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the onions are soft and the beef is browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- In the same skillet, add corn kernels and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and stir to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in milk until the mixture thickens. Add mayonnaise, ketchup, and mustard. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef mixture with the sauce.
- In a greased casserole dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes. Pour half of the meat and sauce mixture over the potatoes. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, meat and sauce mixture, and cheese.
- Sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the top layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, and the top is golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Serve your corny cheeseburger potato casserole hot, and enjoy the comforting flavors reminiscent of a classic cheeseburger.
