Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the ground beef: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, then cook the diced onion and garlic until softened. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
- Make the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, paprika, and black pepper. Stir until smooth.
- Layer the casserole: In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes at the bottom. Spread half of the ground beef mixture over the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of cheese. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, ground beef, and cheese.
- Add the sauce: Pour the soup mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
