Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until fully browned, breaking it up with a spatula. Drain off excess fat and set the beef aside.
3. Arrange thinly sliced potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the greased dish. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
4. In a bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup with milk, stirring until smooth. Pour mixture evenly over the potato layer. Top with cooked ground beef and chopped onions.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the casserole. Cover the dish tightly with foil.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden and bubbling.
Notes
For a leaner dish, substitute ground beef with ground turkey.
Enhance flavor by adding vegetables such as bell peppers or mushrooms to the layers.
For a crisp, golden top, broil briefly after baking until cheese is lightly browned.
