This recipe came together as a last minute, I need to feed some people, but all the stores are closed kind of meal! I had some ground venison already thawing out, a few potatoes, some leftover soup that could act as a "gravy/sauce" in a casserole, some cheese....yup, it all sounded good, and I was ready to experiment! It was a tasty experiment! Meat and Potato Casserole Ingredients:
Method:
I made the mistake of adding salt as I cooked the meat the first time, but I had also used stock made from bouillon cubes (instead of homemade stock), and it was too salty. I made this again (I wouldn't give you a recipe that was no good!) and used homemade stock, and added just a pinch of salt, and it was perfect. So, if you use bouillon, don't add any extra salt, if you use homemade stock (that doesn't have as much salt) add some as needed (taste the soup, stock, cream mixture before using it). This meal was a yummy, middle of the long winter comfort food, and I will make it again before this winter is finished - which might not be forever!

Grandmas made it also but would add a crust on top usually and she made everything from scratch out of garden. Including flour potatoes etc. milk cream everything even made cheese. Was best food i ever had and her bread was best ever still.

I microwave the potatoes first so they are almost done, then just bake for 30 minutes. Much easier and I think quicker! 😊

How did that work out? I hate when the potatoes aren't cooked enough. This sounds like a great idea. 3/13/2017 07:29:42 pm
I made this last night, baked it for an hour and 45 minutes and the potatoes still weren't cooked through. And I sliced them thin. How do you cook these in the microwave? Do you slice them and cook them or do you microwave them whole? Thanks for a reply if you see my post. For this dish, I would slice them before microwaving; as they are hard to slice thin when cooked because they tend to crumble. Cover them with a damp paper towel and micro for 2 minutes. Check tenderness and repeat if needed. For a dish where they are going to be cubed, like potato salad or a roast, I would micro whole then cube. This is how I do it in my restaurant in case we don't use them all; they store better that way. Good Luck!!

My grandma made this too but had crust on bottom and top. Potatoes on the bottom then the beef and then any leftovers in the fridge (one time it had macaroni salad 😋) then a can of creamed corn then the beef, potatoes and corn again on top under the crust . No cheese but everyone loved getting a 9X13 pan. Am trying this as written and then will see where it goes.

There are various methods to prepare dinner red meat however crockpot cooking brings out the juiciness and taste of red meat quite well. That you could cook the hardest red meat cuts in a slow cooker and it'll come out succulent and delicious given that of the moist, sluggish cooking process.

I consistently use Cream of Celery soup in place of Cream of Mushroom. Celery provides a wonderful, different but just as good as mushroom flavor. I've never had a complaint from anyone that the recipe tasted different or not as good from anyone else who makes it on a regular basis either! (I've taken it to potluck so, etc.) Give it a try...see what you think.

I need something to take to a sickly friend's house. They are meat and potatoes people. This would be perfect I think. They can just pop it in the oven when they are ready. I agree about the salt. Anytime you are using prepackaged soups or broths, you do not need to add any extra salt. The cheese adds plenty of salt to. That is way more than we need to start with.

I haven't tried freezing this before, sorry! But, it is such a simple and forgiving casserole, that I imagine you do all the steps as-is (including putting the foil on), then wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze. Then when I wanted it, I'd cook it from frozen, and add an extra 1/2 hour to the baking time (maybe more or less) until it's cooked through.

Stock and broth are not the same thing. Stock is a combination of bones (sometimes meat), mirepoix (a mixture of onions, carrots, and celery), and aromatics in water. Stock is cooked for anywhere from two to six hours on the stovetop. This length of cooking means stock doesn’t typically yield a thick or gelatinous texture, nor is it likely to gel when chilled. Stock is always left unseasoned. My deceased mother-in-law used to make a similar version, she called "Hobo dinner". It was delicious!! Great for leftovers too, if there are any leftovers (ha-ha)! So glad to see this recipe here! Now I'll have to make it for my dear hubby ....... his mom, if still alive, would be 106 year's old now. Thanks for sharing!

If you want to freeze I would suggest that you blanch the potatoes first. Boil water and put sliced potatoes in for about 2 minutes. This should keep them from turning dark.

That pan size will work just fine. Because your meat is already cooked, all you need to worry about is having the potatoes tender, so just stick a fork or knife) into the casserole at the 1 1/2hr mark, and if they aren't quite tender enough (the fork or knife should easily cut through the casserole), continue baking, checking every 5 minutes or so, until the potatoes are perfect. Hope this helps!

I was super excited to try this... Assembled the casserole and refrigerated overnight. Then I baked at 350 for over 1.5 hrs tonight. The potatoes are still not tender. Any idea what I might have done wrong? It seems to have really good flavor but the potatoes just don't seem done enough.
Reply

10/14/2015 07:50:58 am
Drat! I'm sorry the potatoes gave you trouble! Refrigerating the casserole would slow down the cooking a bit, and perhaps you didn't cut the potatoes quite thin enough? I can't imagine what else would cause the potatoes to not get tender after more than 1.5 hours? It might also be a preference based thing where you would rather the potatoes be very soft, in which case you could just tell yourself the casserole needs to bake for 1.5-2 hours?

You could refrigerate it but you would probably have to add about another 1/2 hour because the cold potatoes will take longer to cook. Check it after an extra 15 minutes, if still not soft enough for you then put it back in and check every 5 minutes. This is the best recipe. My mom used to make this with gravy though because I had a fussy family back then lol. I made it for my daughter who only likes canned mushrooms and canned cream of mushroom soup (yuck), her and her friends loved it and requested it once a week and they got it too. Tyvm for sharing this recipe with us.

I followed the directions on the scalloped potatoes box then mixed the meat with it and added some Mexican cheese, poured it all in a baking dish....it was the best!!! My family loved it!!!

When a recipe calls for milk, how do u know what kind of milk you can use. I drink skim milk, but not sure if I can use it in recipes that call for milk.

That's a good question! I think that because cows milk is a very forgiving ingredient, you can generally use whatever kind you have on hand. Unless a recipe very specifically tells you what kind of milk to use, I think it's safe to use whatever you have.

1st, I hate it when people change the recipe before they even try it. However, when you live at the corner of walk and dont walk, and the closest store is 1 hour away, and your taters havent come up yet, and you find a recipe that sounds so amazing, I tossed the chicken aside. I had a box of Au Gratin potatoes in the pantry, so i used them, just added the powdered sauce packet to the soup mixture. set them timer as directed, but it started smelling so good, it had 45 minutes left so i turned it down to 300 cause my company wasnt coming that quick and i wanted it to be hot. It was devoured. I only served it with a salad(only 4 of us) & all i had left was a watermelon I picked that morning, so thankfully they filled up on that. Great Recipe

They use to cook this at my jr. sr. high school . We had real cooks back then. But they used a brown gravy. It was really good bubbly and slightly crisp on the top. I have tried to make it how they did but it never comes out as good. Maybe I was just real hungry in school . But the cooks where great.

If this question has already been asked, my apologies. You said you used some leftover mushroom soup you had in the fridge. So my question is, if I use canned soup, should I dilute it? Seems it would be too goopy/gloppy and difficult to spread over the potatoes otherwise. Thanks!

Making for breakfast this morning, adding ground breakfast sausage instead of beef. Made my own thick bechamel sauce instead of canned cream soup, and used homemade bone broth. That should keep the salt levels in check since the sausage comes salted. Your recipe is great, look forward to making it again! Thanks

It's about to go in the oven! Can't wait to try it :) I didn't have a pound of burger so went through the freezer and found little bits of sausage, and some chorizo so added enough of those to make a pound. Also added some jalapeno & garlic to the mix, so it's all basically the same, but with a few additions. I have enough to feed a small army, of course. Getting hungry :)

This is very good. I spiced it up a bit with a little cajun seasoning, paprika and worcestershire sauce. I also made my own mushroom soup without the mushrooms. I didn't have any. I am on a low sodium diet and the canned soup are loaded with it. It wasn't too runny or anything it was just perfect. The only problem I had was that is had to stop eating it because it is so delicious!! Thanks so much for the recipe.

I think you need more like 8 potatoes. I used rosemary and garlic for seasoning. I only had three so I added a bag of mixed vegetables below the meat. I used a can of cream of mushroom soup prepared as directed and omitted the milk. Next time I would cut the milk in the soup in half and definitely keep the mixed vegetables! Big hit.

I made this tonight and we loved it! I followed the recipe pretty much exactly, except I doubled everything and baked it in a larger, deep casserole dish. Also, per some of the comments I baked it at 400 degrees. I sliced the potatoes very thin but did not pre-cook them at all, and it ended up baking for 1 hour and 15 minutes total. After 50 minutes we took the foil off to help some of the liquid evaporate. It could have stayed in the oven for the full hour and a half to make the potatoes slightly softer if desired, but not necessary. They were easy to cut with a fork, but not mushy. It didn't come out looking like the pictures....I'm assuming you would have to let it cool down a lot in the pan before slicing to get it to look like that. Ours sort of just fell apart and spread out on the plate, but it was not "soupy" - will definitely make again :) Thank you for the recipe :)

Rebecca, this dish freezes just fine. I think the key is refrigerating the leftovers over night. I cut it into squares of desired serving size and put 2 in a quart freezer bag using a pancake turner. When I go to reheat them, I "pam" my casserole dish, cut the baggie off with scissors and place them in the dish to thaw. It reheats faster than from frozen state but both would work. Being a turophile ( lover of cheese) I always sprinkle a little more grated cheese over the top just before popping it in the oven. Hope this helps.
