Exactly what you said, "Tasty, Quick and Easy! I seasoned the hamburger with all-seasoning salt, pepper and a couple of dollops of soy sauce and also added the onion as previously suggested. Next time, I will make sure the potatoes are on the 'stiff' side, otherwise, it was great!

I halved this recipe and it still made about twice as much as my husband and toddler and I could eat. If I had more freezer room, this would be a good recipe to make as is and put half in the freezer before baking. It does not have a lot of flavor, but it is still tasty. I may add onions to the gb next time and may try a zesty tomato soup. I will make this again.

This recipe was simple. I added onions to the hamburger because we like onions. And it has so many possibilities. Keep them coming 1Steve.
