Cheesy Hamburger Hashbrown Casserole makes weeknight dinners easy and delicious satisfying family hunger with every comforting bite

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef, cooked and drained
  • 4 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed (no need to drain)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream (full fat works best)
  • ½ cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce for extra depth

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This warming step helps everything cook evenly and get that golden top.
  • Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic halfway through cooking the beef. Stir occasionally. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions feel soft—about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat once done.
  • In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce if you’re using it. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the cooked beef mixture, thawed hashbrowns, and 1 ½ cups of shredded cheddar cheese into the bowl with your creamy base. Mix gently but thoroughly, making sure all the hashbrowns get coated.
  • Pour this mixture into a greased 9×13-inch casserole dish. Smooth the top evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  • Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes until the top bubbles and gets golden, while the cheese melts into a gorgeous crust. Let the casserole rest 5 minutes before serving for best results.
