Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 6 medium russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and chopped onion until beef is browned and onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the beef mixture. Remove from heat.
- In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the beef mixture, then pour half of the soup mixture over. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, beef, and soup mixture.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender and cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Don’t slice potatoes too thick, or they will remain crunchy.
- Scrub potatoes well instead of peeling for added texture and nutrients.
- For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free cream soup or make your own.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days or frozen, though potatoes may become mealy after thawing.
- Let the casserole rest for at least 10 minutes after baking before serving to prevent a potato avalanche.
