Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 4 medium Russet potatoes, thinly sliced
• 2 cans Cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tbsp Dried parsley (optional, for garnish)
• 1 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Crumble the beef as it cooks and stir in the diced onion. Cook until the onion is soft and the beef is fully browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir well and set aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the soup mixture on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Arrange a single layer of potato slices over the sauce.

Step 6

Spoon half of the cooked beef mixture over the potatoes, spreading it out evenly. Pour about 1/3 of the soup mixture over the beef.

Step 7

Repeat the layers: another layer of potatoes, the remaining beef mixture, and 1/3 of the soup mixture. Finish with a final layer of potatoes and the remaining soup mixture on top.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and return the casserole to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with dried parsley if desired.
