Tips:

  • Choose the right type of potatoes: For best results, use a firm, waxy potato such as Yukon Gold or red potatoes. These potatoes will hold their shape well and won't become mushy in the casserole.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked through but still slightly firm. Overcooked potatoes will become mushy and ruin the texture of the casserole.
  • Use a good quality ground beef: For a flavorful casserole, use a ground beef that is at least 80% lean. You can also use a mixture of ground beef and ground pork or sausage for a richer flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: The cheese is what makes this casserole so rich and decadent. Use a good quality cheddar cheese or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  • Bake the casserole until it's bubbly and golden brown: The casserole is done baking when the cheese is melted and bubbly and the top is golden brown. This usually takes about 30 minutes.

Cowboy meat and potato casserole is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a family meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
