Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450g) ground beef
- 4 large potatoes, sliced thin
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp paprika (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and slicing the potatoes thinly. Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the ground beef, season with salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Cook until browned and cooked through, then remove from heat.
- In a greased baking dish, arrange a layer of sliced potatoes. Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes. Repeat with another layer of potatoes and the remaining beef mixture. Pour the milk evenly over the top to keep the bake moist.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Slice and serve hot for a hearty, cheesy experience.
Notes
- Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a sweeter flavor and added nutrients. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
- This dish is naturally gluten-free if you use gluten-free seasonings and cheese.
- Best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in microwave or oven for best results.
