Description

A comforting baked dish combining ground beef and layers of potatoes topped with creamy mushroom soup and cheddar cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease.
  2. Season the beef with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, and stir until combined.
  3. In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly. Add half of the seasoned beef mixture on top. Repeat with remaining potatoes and beef.
  4. Mix the cream of mushroom soup with milk until smooth, and pour this mixture over the layers.
  5. Top with shredded cheddar cheese and drizzle with melted butter. Cover with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven at 375°F for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is golden brown.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with paprika if desired.
