We call this ‘Pantry Pleaser’ because it’s so simple yet so delicious – my go-to when I’m low on groceries!

This Ground Beef and Potato Bake is the perfect family-friendly meal that fits right into our cozy Midwestern lifestyle. It’s a dish that’s been passed down through generations, bringing warmth and comfort to our dinner tables. With its simple ingredients and hearty flavors, it’s perfect for busy weeknights or a cozy weekend gathering. Plus, it’s a great way to use up those potatoes sitting in the pantry and turn humble ground beef into something special that everyone will love.

This bake pairs wonderfully with a crisp mixed green salad topped with cherry tomatoes and cucumbers for a refreshing crunch. A side of steamed green beans or buttered corn also complements the savory flavors of the dish perfectly. For a little indulgence, serve with warm dinner rolls or crusty bread to mop up every last bit on the plate.
