Kim's Comfort Casserole

This is a comfort in 2 ways. First, we all know and love tator tot casserole...well, this is a healthier version. Second, it reminds me of something my mom used to make called "One Dish Meal" that had to bake for an hour...this one doesn't take that long!

Kim's Comfort Casserole

1 lb ground beef
1 T olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 T Italian seasoning
Salt and Pepper
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 of a 30 oz bag of frozen shredded hash brown potatoes

Preheat oven to 400. Brown ground beef with oil, onion, and garlic. Add soups and seasonings. Put in bottom of 9x13 baking dish. Top with cheese and then potatoes. Bake until the top starts to turn golden...about 30ish minutes. If you let them bake too long, they get chewy, so just keep an eye on it.

Think you could use a different "cream of" soup? I'm just not a fan of mushrooms.

Absolutely! Make it how it suits you! I think broccoli cheese soup would also be awesome!
