  • Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef
  • 4 large potatoes, sliced thin
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice potatoes thinly and prepare diced onion and minced garlic.
  2. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onions until translucent, add garlic, then ground beef; cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Drain excess fat.
  3. Mix cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl. In a greased baking dish, layer sliced potatoes, half of the cooked ground beef, then some of the soup mixture. Repeat layers and finish with a layer of potatoes topped with remaining soup mixture and cheese.
  4. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil, continue baking for 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Ensure potatoes are sliced thin for even cooking. You can add vegetables like carrots or peas for extra nutrition. For a spicier flavor, sprinkle more paprika or add chopped jalapeños. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
