Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lb ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain off any excess fat.
Stir the chopped onion into the beef and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
In a separate bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, and pepper.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Pour half of the soup mixture over the beef layer.
Top with the remaining potatoes and pour the rest of the soup mixture over them.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 50 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
For a richer flavor, substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery soup.
If you prefer diced potatoes instead of sliced, ensure they are cut into 1/2 inch pieces for even cooking.
You can add 1/2 cup of frozen mixed vegetables with the beef mixture for added color and nutrients.
