Cheesy Hamburger Potato

Step 4: Assemble the Casserole

1. Spread a thin layer of the cheese sauce at the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
2. Layer half of the potato slices evenly across the dish.
3. Spoon half of the cooked beef mixture over the potatoes, spreading it out evenly.
4. Pour half of the remaining cheese sauce over the beef layer.
5. Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, beef mixture, and cheese sauce.

Step 5: Add the Topping

1. In a small bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix well.
2. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the casserole.
3. Finish with a final sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese for an extra cheesy crust.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

1. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

1. Allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving to let the layers set.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and flavor.
