✨ Tips for the Best Cheesy Hamburger Potato Casserole

For extra creamy potatoes, use thinly sliced Yukon Golds or Russets
Frozen hash browns save time and work well — just thaw and drain
Add sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers for extra flavor
Mix in a little mustard or Worcestershire sauce in the beef for depth

If you want, I can also make a “loaded baked potato version” with bacon, sour cream, and green onions baked right into the casserole — turns it into a true indulgent feast
