Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and prepare your workspace.
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of lean ground beef over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes until brown. Drain any excess fat.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked ground beef, frozen cubed potatoes, cream of celery soup, cream of cheddar cheese soup, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
