Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup

    1 lb ground beef 
  • Peel and slice the potatoes.
    4 medium potatoes
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, and seasonings.
    10.5 oz cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/4 tsp salt
  • Mix until smooth and fully combined.
  • Grease the 8x8-inch casserole dish.
  • Layer half of the potatoes in the casserole dish.
  • Top with half of the cooked beef.
  • Pour half of the sauce over the beef.
  • Sprinkle half of the cheese on top.
    8 oz cheddar cheese
  • Repeat with the remaining potatoes, beef, sauce, and cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake 30 more minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

  • Use the Right Potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold work best because they soften nicely.
  • Slice Evenly: Cut the potatoes into thin, even slices so they cook properly.
  • Season Well: Add more salt or spices to the beef if you want a stronger flavor.
  • Let It Rest: Give the casserole a few minutes to settle before slicing.
