Tools You’ll Need

Having the right tools makes prep easier and your dish even more delicious! Here’s what we recommend:

🥘 9x13-inch baking dish – A classic casserole dish ensures even baking.
🔪 Sharp chef’s knife or mandoline – For slicing potatoes evenly and thinly.
🍳 Large skillet – Perfect for searing the hamburger patties before baking.
🥄 Mixing bowls – To combine the meat mixture and the sauce.
🧽 Foil – Helps trap steam to cook the potatoes through before uncovering for browning.
🥄 Whisk or fork – For mixing the sauce until smooth.

💡 Optional but helpful: A food thermometer to ensure patties reach 160°F for doneness.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Make the patties: In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Form into 4–5 patties.
Sear the patties in a skillet over medium-high heat (2–3 minutes per side, just to brown). Remove and set aside.
Mix the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, milk, and Worcestershire sauce.
Layer the dish: Place sliced potatoes and onions on the bottom of the dish. Pour a little sauce over.
Add the patties on top, then pour the remaining sauce evenly over everything.
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Uncover, sprinkle cheese if using, and bake for another 10–15 minutes until potatoes are tender and bubbly.
