I first made this for a Saturday night movie marathon and now it is always the request when everyone is craving cozy home cooking. It tastes just like the kind of meal my grandma used to serve after a long day outside.
Ingredients
- Ground beef: Choose fresh with bright color and little liquid for best flavor and texture
- White onion: Milder than yellow onion and adds gentle sweetness
- Salt and pepper: These seasonings round out all the savory flavors
- Garlic powder: Delivers a hint of earthy depth without the bite of raw garlic
- Cream of mushroom soup: Look for one with lots of visible mushroom bits for added richness and creaminess
- Corn: Go for canned corn that looks plump and vibrant not faded great for popping sweet bursts into every bite
- Russet potatoes: Their starchy texture breaks down just enough for a creamy base pick ones that feel heavy and firm with no green spots or wrinkles
- Sharp cheddar cheese: Adds creaminess and a sharp punch use freshly shredded from a block for the best melt
