Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1 pound ground beef (Halal)
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup or homemade variant
  • 1 cup milk
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk, stirring until smooth.
  5. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Start layering your casserole: First, a layer of sliced potatoes, followed by a layer of ground beef mixture, and then a sprinkle of cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of potatoes topped with cheese.
  6. Pour the soup mixture evenly over the top, covering all potatoes.
  7. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
  9. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your cheesy goodness!

Notes

You can substitute ground beef with ground chicken or turkey. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking for better serving. Cover with foil while baking to ensure even cooking.
