Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Add ground beef, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned, then drain excess fat.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup and milk; stir until smooth.
In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the potato slices, followed by the beef mixture, and then half of the cheese.
Pour the soup mixture over the layers, then add the remaining potatoes on top.
Finish with the remaining cheese and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
