Ingredients
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 3–4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz / 300 g) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley or green onions, for garnish
Kitchen Equipment Needed
- Large skillet
- Mixing bowl
- 9×13-inch baking dish
- Knife and cutting board
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease the baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess grease. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with the milk until smooth.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the cooked ground beef over the potatoes, then pour half of the soup mixture on top. Sprinkle with one cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef, soup mixture, and cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the top is bubbly and lightly golden.
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.
