- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons chili seasoning
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 cup milk
- 1 medium onion, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the hamburger: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the ground hamburger and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Season the meat: Stir in the chili seasoning and tomato sauce, mixing well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced potatoes and milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Layer the casserole: In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, spread half of the potato mixture on the bottom, followed by half of the hamburger mixture. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheese on top.
- Repeat the layers: Add the remaining potatoes, followed by the rest of the hamburger mixture, and top with the remaining cheese.
- Cover and bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let it rest: Once out of the oven, let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving.
