1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (10.5 ounce)
03 -
¾ cup milk
04 -
½ cup chopped onion
05 -
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
06 -
3 cups peeled and thinly sliced potatoes (about 3 medium potatoes)
07 -
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
02 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
03 -
In a medium bowl, mix condensed soup, milk, onion, salt, and pepper until well combined.
04 -
In a 2-quart baking dish, create alternating layers of potatoes, soup mixture, and browned ground beef.
05 -
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour.
06 -
Check if the potatoes are tender with a fork. If not, continue baking for another 15-30 minutes until potatoes are completely tender.
07 -
Remove foil, sprinkle the top with Cheddar cheese, and return to the oven uncovered for about 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
08 -
Allow casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For a time-saving tip, use a mandoline slicer to get perfectly thin, even potato slices.
02 -
Cover with foil for most of the baking time to ensure the potatoes cook through before the top gets too brown.
03 -
Feel free to add additional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning to suit your family's taste preferences.
04 -
This casserole pairs perfectly with a simple green salad for a complete meal.
05 -
For a twist, try using half sweet potatoes and half regular potatoes!
