Bake, uncovered, at 400 degrees F for 45-50 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
I brown the ground beef and drain it well then add it to the Au Gratin potato that has been prepared according to the package directions and cook as directed. I make this often as it really extends the ground beef. I have also added peas, corn or mixed veggie to the potato mixture before baking it. It is very tasty.
