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:

1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the scalloped potato boxes.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Season the cooked hamburger with salt, pepper, creole seasoning, and adobe seasoning to taste. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
5. Once the scalloped potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven.
6. Spread the seasoned ground hamburger evenly over the top of the cooked scalloped potatoes.
7. If desired, sprinkle a handful of shredded cheese over the hamburger layer.
8. Return the casserole dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. While the casserole is baking, prepare the garlic bread according to the instructions on the box.
10. 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
