Cheesy Hamburger Scalloped Potato Bake
Ingredients:
- 2 boxes of scalloped potatoes ($1 each)
- 1 lb ground hamburger ($4.79)
- 1 box garlic bread ($2.20)
- Handful of shredded cheese (optional)
- Salt
- Pepper
- Creole seasoning
- Adobe seasoning
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the scalloped potato boxes.
- Prepare the scalloped potatoes according to the instructions on the boxes. Typically, this involves mixing the potatoes with water, milk, and butter, and then baking in a casserole dish.
- While the potatoes are baking, cook the ground hamburger in a skillet over medium heat until it’s fully browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
- Season the cooked hamburger with salt, pepper, creole seasoning, and adobe seasoning to taste. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Once the scalloped potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven.
- Spread the seasoned ground hamburger evenly over the top of the cooked scalloped potatoes.
- If desired, sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese over the hamburger layer.
- Return the casserole dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- While the casserole is baking, prepare the garlic bread according to the instructions on the box.
- Serve the Cheesy Hamburger Scalloped Potato Bake hot with slices of garlic bread on the side.
Optional Variation:
- Instead of ground hamburger, you can use ham chunks. Simply chop up leftover ham from a previous dinner and use it in place of the hamburger. Follow the same instructions for seasoning and layerin
