What Do I Need to Make Hamburger Hashbrown Casserole?
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 (30 oz) package frozen hashbrowns (shredded)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided

- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Step by Step Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a skillet, brown the ground beef, drain off the fat, and return the meat to the skillet. Add the packet of dry onion soup mix, and stir in 1/2 cup of water.
2. In a large mixing bowl, add the hashbrowns, 1 cup of shredded cheddar, cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, pepper and garlic powder. Stir this well to make sure it’s all combined.
3. Add a little more than half of the potato mixture to a 9×13 casserole dish. You’ll want to make sure the bottom of the pan is completely covered, but still have some potatoes left to put on top.
