Cheesy Beef And Potatoes Comfort

Now here’s a real comfort meal if I ever saw one!

Cheesy Beef & Potatoes

The Original

Someone pinned the original recipe to one of my Pinterest boards. It caught my eye immediately because this is something that I know I’d LOVE. And I will be a regular visitor to this blog, Bushel and a Peck, because I love Amy-Lyn’s style! Like me, she lives “in the sticks” (as she puts it) with her animals and family. She has a wonderful sense of humor from her writing and I just love her stories. She’s an artist as well and I so enjoyed looking at her acrylics and pencil work.

But back to the recipe–this one is very easy. I do suggest the use of a mandoline to slice the potatoes so they layer nicely and are done in the amount of cook time. It’s easy to assemble so there’s really not much work involved there.

Cheesy Beef & Potatoes

Suggestions

Amy-Lyn suggested cream of mushroom soup and she used her leftover homemade, but said the canned stuff would do. If you don’t like that choice, I’d suggest cream of celery or golden mushroom here–of course if you hate mushrooms, that’s not an option so I’d go with the cream of celery or even cheddar cheese soup.

This honestly tastes wonderful. I ate two heaping portions and it reheats well too. I had it again the next night and it was still, if not more, tasty. In this biz I eat a LOT of leftovers!!!

Cheesy Beef & Potatoes

One tip is I didn’t add salt to the meat. The cheese and the soup (if you’re not using low-sodium soup) were enough salt for my taste. If you’re undecided, it’s safer NOT to salt the meat. You can always add at the table.

    This looks so yummy. I can’t wait to try it. I saw your book on QVC yesterday and placed an order, can’t wait to get crocking with you!!

    I see garlic powder and pepper listed in the ingredients but it is not mentioned anywhere in the directions. Is it safe to assume they should be added to the ground beef and onion while browning? Thanks!

    • Judith Hanneman says

      Thanks for catching that–I’m a horrible proof reader!!! Yep, you can add them while browning or mix them in with the soup & stock. Either way works!

    Do you have any suggestions on a substitution for the cream of mushroom soup? I have a crazy aversion to mushrooms…just one of those foods that freak me out. lol

    • Judith Hanneman says

      If you like cream of celery, that’d work here. So would cheddar cheese soup! Any condensed or homemade cream soup (minus the mushrooms) would work well in this!

    You say to use cream is that heavy or sour cream

    • Judith Hanneman says

      December 1, 2015 at 10:42 pm

      It’s plain cream–either light or heavy, but sour cream would be an interesting taste here. If you do use it, let me know how it tasted.

    Can I use milk? I hate to have to buy cream for just 1/4 cup. Whereas I always have milk in the house.

    • Judith Hanneman says

      Milk may be too thin Linda–try evaporated milk for the cream (and use the rest to make pudding!)

    I did this in a Casserole style slow cooker (Walmart $28) and it was a hit.
    Holds up well for hours on the warm setting, lid on.
    I want to do it again but dice steak up in place of the Hamburger and see how that works.

      You got a great deal on the casserole crock!!!
