Description

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 10.75 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Once cooked, drain the excess grease. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  3. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel the potatoes and slice them thinly for even cooking. Arrange a layer of these sliced potatoes at the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Assemble the Casserole: Evenly spread the cooked ground beef over the layer of potatoes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the condensed cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the beef layer.
  5. Bake the Casserole: Place the assembled casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. After this baking time, remove the casserole and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top. Return it to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Let it Rest: Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. This resting period allows the layers to set, making it easier to serve.

Notes

  • You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken or celery for a flavor variation.
  • For added flavor, consider seasoning the ground beef with garlic powder or onion powder while cooking.
  • If you prefer softer potatoes, you can parboil the slices before layering.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
