Ingredients | Quantities |
---|---|
Ground beef | 1 1/2 pounds |
Russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced | 4 large |
Onion, chopped | 1 medium |
Shredded cheddar cheese | 2 cups |
Condensed cream of mushroom soup | 1 can (10.75 oz) |
Milk | 3/4 cup |
Garlic powder | 1 teaspoon |
Paprika | 1 teaspoon |
Salt and pepper to taste | To taste |
Olive oil | 2 tablespoons |
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish |
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a 9×13 inch baking dish with a touch of olive oil.
- Sauté the Beef and Onions In a spacious skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef loses its pink hue, and the onions turn tender. Drain any excess fat.
- Season and Layer Season the beef mixture with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Spread half of this savory blend evenly at the dish’s bottom. Layer half of the potato slices, followed by a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Repeat with the remaining beef and potatoes.
- Whisk and Pour In a small bowl, whisk together the condensed soup and milk until a harmonious blend is achieved. Pour this velvety mixture over the potato layers, ensuring it cascades into the casserole.
- Bake to Perfection Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour. Afterward, remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake, uncovered, for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the cheese attains a delightful bubbly texture, and the potatoes reach tenderness.
- Serve with Style Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes before serving. Elevate its visual appeal by garnishing with fresh parsley, introducing a pop of color to your culinary masterpiece.
