- Spatula
- Aluminum foil
- Cutting board
- Knife
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 cups thinly sliced potatoes (about 4-5 medium potatoes)
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare the Potatoes: Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly. You can use a mandoline slicer for even slices.
- Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir until well combined.
- Assemble the Casserole: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes. Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes. Pour half of the soup mixture over the beef. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef, soup mixture, and cheese.
- Bake: Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
