How to Make Ground Beef And Potato Casserole
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, brown 1 lb ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
- Add 1 medium chopped onion and 2 chopped celery stalks to the skillet. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Stir well.
- In a separate bowl, set the ground beef mixture aside.
- In the same skillet, melt 4 tbsp butter over medium-high heat.
- Whisk in 4 tbsp all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk until the sauce is smooth, bubbly, and thickened.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/2 tsp chili powder until melted and smooth.
- Spread 1/4 cup of the ground beef mixture evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer 1/3 of the sliced potatoes over the ground beef.
- Repeat layers of ground beef mixture and potatoes until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of potatoes.
- Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top.
- Sprinkle with a pinch of paprika and 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the casserole is bubbly and golden brown.
