My family can't get enough of this one! 5 stars!

Baked Hamburger Hash is a comforting, all-in-one dish that's perfect for busy weeknights or those cozy weekends when you want something hearty and satisfying. This dish has been a staple in our small Midwestern town for generations. It’s a wonderful way to take simple ingredients and turn them into something delicious and nourishing for the whole family. Plus, it's a fantastic recipe for using up those odds and ends in your pantry.

Baked Hamburger Hash goes wonderfully with a fresh, crisp green salad on the side. You might also want to include some buttered dinner rolls or even a slice of cornbread to round out the meal. For a little extra flair, serve it with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese on top. And don't forget to include a nice cold glass of iced tea or lemonade for a perfect family dinner.

Servings: 6

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 cups diced potatoes (peeled or unpeeled)
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.

3. Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing until they are tender.

4. Stir in the diced potatoes, cooking for another 5 minutes.

5. In a separate bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetable mixture, stirring well to combine.

6. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix everything together thoroughly.

7. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread it out evenly.

8. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

9. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

10. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the potatoes are tender.

11. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

For picky eaters, you can swap out the green bell pepper for diced carrots or peas, as they have a milder flavor. If you're looking for a bit of a twist, try using ground turkey or chicken instead of beef. You can also add a can of drained corn or green beans for extra veggies. For those who like a bit of spice, consider mixing in some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce. Finally, if you're on a gluten-free diet, make sure to use a gluten-free condensed soup.
