How to Make Bacon Cheeseburger Casserole

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cook 1 pound of bacon until crisp. Remove from skillet and set aside, reserving 2 tablespoons of bacon grease.
  3. While bacon cooks, peel and chop 2 pounds of potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
  4. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender but not mushy (about 15-20 minutes). Drain well.
  5. Add 1 medium chopped onion, 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 teaspoon ground mustard, and 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce to the bacon grease in the skillet.
  6. Add 1 pound ground beef and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until beef is no longer pink, breaking it up with a spoon.
  7. In a medium bowl, combine 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, ½ cup milk, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and ½ cup sour cream.
  8. In a large bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, crumbled bacon, cooked hamburger mixture, and the soup mixture. Mix gently to combine.
  9. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  11. Pour the potato and hamburger mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  12. Top with 1 cup french fried onions.
  13. Bake for 30 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
