Ingredients
3 to 4 cups cooked and seasoned ground beef
1/4 cup cream of mushroom soup
1/4 cup cream of cheddar cheese soup
4 to 5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
1 small onion, finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: garlic powder, paprika, parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet, cook ground beef with chopped onion until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, cream of cheddar soup, and milk.
Layer half the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish.
Add half of the ground beef mixture, then pour some soup mixture over it.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat with remaining potatoes, beef, soup mixture, and top with more cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Substitute ground turkey for beef to lighten it up.
Add frozen peas, corn, or green beans for a complete one-dish meal.
Sprinkle paprika on top for color and flavor.
Use pepper jack cheese for a spicier kick.
Casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen before baking.
