"This recipe has been updated to improve your cooking experience (February 2024). Cheesy, creamy layers of potatoes and tasty ground beef —there’s a reason this recipe has become a family favorite. This hamburger potato casserole is inspired by classic potatoes au gratin with the flavors of a simple hamburger, bringing together the best of both worlds. If you can’t get gruyere, another good melting cheese will do (mozzarella or gouda, for example)."
