Preheat oven at 350 degrees F. Now choose whatever size of baking or casserole dish you care to make and spray the dish with pan spray.
Put the hamburger in the bottom, season it with salt and pepper and whatever seasoning of your choice. Put the sliced onion over the beef and season it also. Put the veggie of your choosing over the sliced onions. Now place a layer of sliced potatoes over the veggie(s); salt and pepper and use any other seasoning(s) of your choice.
Add as many layers or as many potatoes you want too. I like my potatoes here, so I usually put on about 2-3 layers. Make sure to season each layer. And if you like onion, you can also add more sliced onion between the potato layers if you want to. There's no certain amount of anything here. Just put however or whatever amount you want.
Bake it covered at 350 degrees F for about 1-1/2 hours, until the potatoes are tender. This is really handy to have made up and already baked, and cooled. Put in the freezer for those unexpected visitors or just a lazy night dinner, or if you just don't know what to make. My mom and I loved it. Enjoy!

Brown ground beef, onions, and steak sauce together, then drain. Put in bottom of 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle cheese on top of meat. Slice potatoes thin and place on cheese, over lap. Add soup and 1 can of water together until mixed well. Pour over potatoes. Bake at degrees 375 degrees F until the potatoes are done and golden brown 50-60 minutes and a knife goes in with no problem. Let set for 10-15 minutes to let the potatoes reabsorbed the liquids.
Substitutions: Add some thin sliced onion to the layered potatoes. Also good with pre-cooked ham and shredded onion on the potatoes and Swiss cheese. Make sure to add some salt (season salt) and pepper to the potatoes. Add more than 1 cup of cheese and/or place 1/2 of potatoes on the bottom (spray the pan with cooking spray).
You can substitute a couple of parsnips for the potatoes and intermingle them. No one will ever know but they get sweeter than potatoes. You can add some chopped mushrooms to the meat or potatoes. If you have some vegetable stock use it instead of water.
Shredded chicken works. If you have cream of chicken soup, I like to use milk instead of water, but you could use chicken broth. Drain a can of corn and mix it with the hamburger after it is been degreased.
This worked well with left over shredded pot roast. I have made this with left over corned beef and cabbage chopped up and used it instead of the hamburger mixture. I cut the water in half. The cabbage will still give off a lot of liquid. I used Swiss cheese with 1/2 of the potatoes on the bottom. The cabbage juice gave the potatoes a nice flavor as did the corned beef.

Brown the hamburger with chopped onion. Mix the 2 soups, rice and can of peas with liquid; add to the hamburger. Mix. Bake in a greased, covered casserole for 2 1/2 hours at 350. Stir occasionally.
