Cheesy Scalloped Potato and Ground Beef Bake

Step 4: Layer and Bake

  1. Spread the hamburger and cream of potato mixture evenly over the layer of uncooked potatoes in the baking dish.
  2. Pour the prepared sauce from the scalloped potatoes evenly over the top, ensuring all layers are covered.
  3. Bake uncovered for 25 minutes in the preheated oven to allow the flavors to meld and the potatoes to soften.

Step 5: Prepare the Bacon

  1. While the casserole is baking, cut your bacon into small pieces and cook in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.

Step 6: Add the Finishing Touches

  1. After the initial 25-minute bake, remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the top with the crispy bacon pieces and a generous layer of shredded cheese.
  2. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  3. Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving to allow it to set and cool slightly.
