This Amish Beef and Potato Casserole is a family favorite that brings warmth and comfort to our dinner table

Step 4: Make the Creamy Sauce

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with 1/2 cup milk. Stir until smooth. This creamy mixture will coat the beef and potatoes, binding them together as they bake.

Step 5: Layer the Casserole

Start layering your casserole in the prepared baking dish:

1. Spread half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom.
2. Top with half of the cooked ground beef mixture.
3. Pour half of the creamy mushroom mixture evenly over the beef.

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef, and cream sauce. For a cheesy topping, sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes to allow the top to turn golden brown and slightly crispy. Check that the potatoes are tender by inserting a fork into the thickest slice.

Step 7: Rest and Serve

Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes. This allows the flavors to settle and makes it easier to serve. Slice into portions and serve hot. It pairs beautifully with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Tips for the Best Amish Beef and Potato Casserole

• Use fresh potatoes for the best texture. Russet or Yukon gold work wonderfully.
• Layer evenly to ensure every bite has the perfect balance of potatoes, beef, and creamy sauce.
• Customize your casserole by adding cooked carrots or green beans between the layers for extra nutrition.
• Make it ahead: You can assemble the casserole a day in advance, cover it, and refrigerate. Bake as directed before serving.
