Grandma’s Traditional Ground Beef And Potato Casserole

This makes a serving for about four people. Whenever I make it at home, I usually will toss a nice salad and warm up some tasty bread to go with it. Then, we never have to worry about anyone not getting enough to eat. In the small chance that there will be leftovers, which isn’t very much, they go in the fridge, and if they last that long, make a perfect take to work lunch the next day. It almost tastes even better after sitting and chilling out in the fridge overnight. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Group Recipes:
