I want to take hamburger, potatoes, bacon and baked beans in a casserole dish. My question is do I need to cook all ingredients before I add shredded cheese and bake it? If so about how long? and at what temp?

Yes, you need to cook the ingredients, without cooking the hamburger, you will end up with a lot of fat in your dish. So you should cook the bacon first and drain off the fat. Reserve two tablespoons to cook the potatoes in. Set it aside. Cook the hamburger and drain the fat. Put the fat back in the pan and warm the pan through. Cook the potato over medium heat until browned. Don't worry if the potatoes aren't cooked through, they will finish off in the oven. Drain and season. Mix the meat potatoes, bacon and beans together season to taste and place in the oven. Don't add the cheese until the last 10 minutes. I wouldn't bake for less than an hour in a 350 oven.

You have to cook the hamburger, bacon and potatoes first. I assume the beans are in a can. Layer it all and bake at 350 for 1/2 hr.

I always cook my hamburger meat before putting it in a casserole. As for potatoes, if you use frozen potatoes I'm sure you will be okay. If you use real potatoes they might not bake all the way through. Never used bacon in a casserole but I'd cook it. If your ingredients is pre-cooked I'd bake your casserole at 350 for about 30 minutes with adding your shedded cheese in the last 5 minutes. Sounds yummy, may have to try it myself.

I would brown the hamburger first and par boil the potatoes (boil for about 10 mins) also chop the bacon up and cook with the hamburger then mix everything together and bake at 350 untill the potatoes are done all the way through probably about 30 mins.

In that casserole, yes you should. If you top it with cheddar, bake at 350* for about 30 minutes.
