  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion until the beef is cooked through. Drain excess fat.

In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, then half of the beef mixture. Repeat the layers.

5

Sprinkle the top with shredded cheese.

6

Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden brown.

7

Let it rest for a few minutes before serving, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture.
You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey for a leaner option.

Troubleshooting

If the casserole is too dry, add a bit more milk or broth before baking.
If the top isn't browning, you can broil it for a couple of minutes at the end.

Recipe Variations

Add chopped bell peppers for a bit of crunch.
Substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken for a different flavor.

Healthy Alternatives

Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for added nutrients.
Choose low-fat cheese and low-sodium soup.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with a side of steamed broccoli.
Pair with a fresh garden salad for a balanced meal.
