Layers of scrumptious Potatoes, Ground Beef, Cheese and more in this comforting casserole

As I have mentioned before, we are having thunderstorms and rain just about every day for the past few weeks and even though it is not that cold, I always crave comfort food when it is raining.

I put together this Cheesy Ground Beef and Potato Casserole a couple of days ago and it was so good, I just have to share it with you.

It is a very simple, yet scrumptious casserole and you should have everything on hand especially if you are a Ground Beef fan.

The choice of Sauce or Salsa is also limitless and you could really add any kind of Sauce/Salsa you like – like a Chili Sauce ? Use that instead.

I cook the Potatoes only long enough until a knife just cuts into the Potato – it might even still be a little hard in the center.

This helps with slicing the Potatoes into slices, but hey, if you overcooked the Potatoes a little and it breaks up a bit when slicing, no problem, the dish is so delicious no one will even notice there are slices and pieces all together in the casserole.
