This casserole has been an Easter side dish in my house, but it has also shown up at breakfast brunches and lazy weeknight dinners. It’s that versatile! I still remember the first time I pulled it out of the oven—the smell of cheddar bubbling on top and my family asking when they could dig in.

What It Tastes Like

Think scalloped potatoes but with a savory, meaty twist. Each forkful has layers of buttery, tender potatoes, seasoned beef, and velvety cheese sauce. The cheddar cheese soup and evaporated milk give it a creamy richness, while the baked topping turns golden and irresistible. It’s comfort food at its finest.
