Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 pound ground beef Browned and drained
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese Plus more for topping as desired
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup Can use homemade alternative
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat, if necessary. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and seasoning (salt, pepper, and garlic powder if desired).
  4. In a baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom. Follow this with half of the ground beef mixture, then pour half of the creamed mixture over the top. Then, sprinkle half of the cheese.
  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef, cream mixture, and top with the remainder of the cheese.
Baking
  1. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is bubbling and nicely browned.
  2. Allow to cool for a few minutes before garnishing with parsley. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

If you have leftovers, store the casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. Freeze for up to three months if needed. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
