Potato and Meat Casserole is a recipe for a simple yet scrumptious dinner. Potatoes, with pork, and mushrooms combined in a creamy sauce.
Some days you just want a meal that isn’t fancy but is more comfort food. A meal that brings the whole family to the table, where you can enjoy each other and the meal as well. Not having to worry about what else needs to be prepped. I love the combination of meat with potatoes and cheese here. It’s fantastic! The meat becomes so tender and delicious, yummers!
The way you season the meat can differ from mine if you don’t have coriander or don’t like it. Just salt and pepper is fine too or adds your favorite spices. If any munchkins in your family don’t like mushrooms just leave one end without mushrooms and load up for yourself on the other side.

Ingredients:
Meat-

1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper

1 medium onion, sliced
12 oz mushrooms, sauteed
1 Tbsp olive oil
Fresh herbs (I used cilantro and dill)
6-8 oz Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Serves: 6-8
Directions:
Slice the meat into thin strips. Cover meat with plastic wrap and beat with a meat mallet 
Slice the mushrooms. Chop the onion. Add mushrooms, onion and olive oil to a pan and fry about 6 minutes. Lightly salt and pepper.
Place the mushrooms atop the meat.
Combine the heavy whipping cream, sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and Lawry’s seasoning salt for the potatoes. Mix.
Slice the cleaned potatoes very thin. If any pieces are thicker than the rest cut in half so all the potatoes are cooked evenly. Place the sliced potatoes in a bowl.
Pour the heavy whipping cream mixture over the potatoes and mix.
Place the mixed potatoes over the mushrooms. (Any remaining heavy whipping cream will be will be used after the cheese.)
Add chopped fresh herbs atop the potatoes (add as much or as little as you like.)
Top with cheese. Pour any of the remaining heavy whipping cream mixture over the cheese.
Cover dish with foil. Bake in preheated oven at 400°F for 1 hour. Remove foil. (Potatoes should be fully cooked. Check with a knife for readiness.) Cook another 10 minutes, so the cheese turns a golden color. Serve immediately.

Hi Valentina, I want to try that dish, and wonder will it work to use instead of pork meat – chicken breast??? This is the only kind of meat my kids will eat…. Thanks;)
Hi Natasha,
You most definitely may use chicken, it will taste just as wonderful. Have you also seen this chicken CASSEROLE? It’s a favorite of our family’s.
