Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef lean, cooked and drained
  • 3 cups potatoes thinly sliced (russet or Yukon gold)
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheese a mix of cheddar or mozzarella
  • 1 cup milk whole or reduced-fat
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup or substitute with a homemade version
  • 2 tsp garlic powder for extra flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings green onions or parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and drain any excess fat.
  3. Add the diced onion to the beef and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
Assembly
  1. In a greased baking dish, layer sliced potatoes, then half the beef mixture followed by the soup mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Repeat until all ingredients are used, ending with cheese on top.
Baking
  1. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the potatoes are tender.
  2. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with optional toppings like green onions or parsley.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes. For freezing, ensure it’s completely cooled before wrapping tightly.
