Ingredients
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the meat is browned. Drain excess fat and stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare the Sauce: In a bowl, mix together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
- Layer the Casserole: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, followed by half of the cooked beef mixture. Pour half of the soup mixture over the layers, then sprinkle with a third of the cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients, finishing with a layer of potatoes and the rest of the soup mixture. Top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
