Ingredients

2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups thinly sliced potatoes (about 3-4 medium potatoes)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil

Step-by-Step

Preheat Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. While the oven heats, lightly grease a large 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Cook Ground Beef Mixture
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and ground beef, breaking up the meat as it cooks, until browned and no longer pink. Stir in the salt and black pepper.
Mix Sauce
In a mixing bowl, combine the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Whisk together until fully blended.
Assemble the Casserole
Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spoon half of the beef mixture over the potatoes, then pour half of the sauce and sprinkle half the cheese on top. Repeat the layers: potatoes, beef mixture, sauce, and finish with the remaining cheese.
Bake
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 50-55 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Rest and Serve
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. This helps the layers set for easier slicing. Serve hot and enjoy!

What to Serve Amish Farmhouse Feast With

Amish Farmhouse Feast truly shines as a standalone dinner, but pairing it with a fresh green salad or steamed green beans can balance the richness with crisp textures and refreshing flavors. Warm homemade bread or simple dinner rolls are perfect for soaking up the creamy sauce. For drinks, a cold glass of sweet tea or classic apple cider is perfectly in tune with its farmhouse vibes. Feeling fancy? Try it alongside buttered corn on the cob or a tangy coleslaw for added crunch and color.

Top Tips for Perfecting Amish Farmhouse Feast

Swap out proteins: If you prefer, use ground turkey, chicken, or a mix of beef and sausage for a twist.
Cheese matters: Sharp cheddar melts beautifully, but feel free to mix in Monterey Jack or Swiss for extra flavor.
Slice potatoes thinly and evenly: This ensures they cook through and absorb all the creamy goodness.
Don’t skip resting time: Letting the dish sit before serving means neater slices and fuller flavor.
Avoid over-salting: The cream of mushroom soup adds some sodium, so taste before adding more salt.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Leftovers? Not a problem! Amish Farmhouse Feast stores beautifully. Cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days. For best results, reheat portions in the microwave or covered in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through. If you’d like to freeze, portion out slices and wrap them well in foil and plastic wrap. Freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as above. Just know that the potatoes may have a slightly softer texture after freezing—still delicious, though!

FAQs

Can I make Amish Farmhouse Feast ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake as directed, adding a few extra minutes if baking straight from the fridge.

Can I use canned potatoes or frozen hash browns?
Absolutely. Canned sliced potatoes or thawed shredded hash browns work well if you’re short on time—just drain and layer as usual.

Can I make this gluten-free?
Yes, simply swap the cream of mushroom soup for your favorite gluten-free version and double-check all other ingredient labels.

How do I know if the potatoes are cooked?
Insert a fork into the center—if the potatoes are tender and easily pierced, you’re good to go!

Can I add extra vegetables?
Definitely! Try layering in sliced mushrooms, spinach, or diced bell peppers for color, nutrition, and even more flavor.
