Description

A cozy, no-fuss skillet-to-oven bake that layers seasoned ground beef, sweet corn, creamy mushroom soup, and frozen hashbrowns into a cheesy, hearty one-dish meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar recommended)
  • 2 cups frozen hashbrowns (shredded style)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it apart, until browned and no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook 2–3 minutes until softened.
  4. Combine the cooked beef and onion with the drained corn, cream of mushroom soup, milk, and half of the shredded cheese. Stir until evenly mixed.
  5. Fold in the frozen hashbrowns. Season with salt and pepper; taste and adjust.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it into an even layer.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 30–35 minutes until the casserole is bubbly at the edges and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  9. Let the casserole rest 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For lighter options, use ground turkey and low-fat soup. For extra veggies, stir in thawed mixed vegetables or chopped bell peppers.
