Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, mix the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until combined.
  5. Spread half of the thinly sliced potatoes in an even layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  6. Spoon the ground beef and onion mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  7. Pour half of the soup mixture over the beef layer.
  8. Top with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Layer the remaining potatoes over the cheese. Pour the remaining soup mixture over the top layer of potatoes.
  10. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
  11. Bake for 45 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a from-scratch sauce, combine 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon flour, and seasonings, then pour over the layers instead of using condensed soup.
  • Slice potatoes very thin for faster cooking time.
  • If you want to make this a make ahead casserole, assemble everything except the final layer of cheese, cover, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add 10 minutes to the covered baking time when baking from cold.
