Some nights you just need a really hearty meal that will stick to your ribs. This recipe for Cheesy Beef & Potato Casserole fits the bill! The layers of flavor in this casserole are simple but so delish. You are likely to have most of the ingredients on hand. The easy prep process makes this perfect for a weeknight meal. It would also be a great dish to add to a meal train or potluck.
I used red and gold baby potatoes, but if you can’t find them you could use all one variety. You could also use Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1-inch chunks and then sliced. You do want to make sure the potatoes are not too thick so that they cook all the way through. Your whole family is going to love the mixture of soft potatoes on the bottom and a few crispy ones on the top. By cooking up the ground beef in the bacon grease, you get that smoky bacon flavor throughout the whole meal, not just from the bits on the top.
Since this is a very filling casserole, I decided to serve it up with a couple of biscuits. I used the flaky layer variety and almost all of us ended up making little tacos by taking a layer of biscuit and filling it up with the casserole. It was so so tasty. You could also go the salad route or even a veggie side dish like green beans or peas.
