Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef Use lean ground beef for a lighter dish.
  • 4 cups sliced potatoes About 4 medium potatoes.
  • 1 cup chopped onion Chop finely to mix well.
  • 2 cups shredded cheese Cheddar or a cheese blend works best.
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup Or another creamy soup of choice.
  • ½ cup milk Adjust for desired creaminess.
  • salt and pepper To taste.
  • paprika or favorite herbs Optional for added flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to warm up.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until translucent.
  4. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the mixture, and stir to combine. Optionally, add paprika.
Layering and Baking
  1. In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, then half of the ground beef mixture, and half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers.
  2. In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with milk until smooth. Pour evenly over the layers in the baking dish.
  3. Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly.
  4. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
