Delicious Cheesy Beef and Potato Bake

This hearty casserole features layers of seasoned ground beef and thinly sliced potatoes, topped with melted cheese for a comforting and flavorful dish. It takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 6 people.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the chopped onion until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix well.
Layer the Ingredients: In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, followed by half of the beef mixture, and half of the sauce mixture. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the remaining sauce on top.

Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the potatoes are tender.
Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley, if desired. Serve hot.
