What seasoning should I use?
You can use Lawry’s seasoning, Mrs. Dash or even Vegeta All works great.
What kind of cheese can I use?
I love how tender the potatoes become once baked in this dish. You take a bite and you get potatoes, ground meat with cheese and tomatoes – all in one bite. I absolutely love cheese in this cheesy potato casserole. It adds all the more flavor. A recipe cannot get better than this. If you’re a cheese lover, add more cheese than the indicated amount and it will be even cheesier. Mozzarella cheese may be used. Colby Jack will also work fine!
Can I substitute ground pork?
Yes, you may definitely substitute for ground chicken or turkey!
What herbs should I use?
You can use your favorite herbs. Cilantro, parsley or dill are all great options.
How do I cut potatoes for a potato casserole?
The potato in this potato casserole recipe needs to be sliced really thin so they are evenly baked. I use a Mandoline Slicer to ensure all the slices are the same in size. If you don’t have a mandoline slicer, slice by hand then half or quarter the slicer. If the slices are too thick, the meat with dry out and the potatoes will be undercooked.
