Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef or ground turkey (Use ground turkey for a lighter version.)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 5-6 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch) (Aim for even thickness.)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided (Sharp cheddar recommended.)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella, optional (For extra meltiness.)
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz) (Or use cream of chicken.)
- 1 cup milk (Add more for additional moisture.)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp paprika, optional (Use smoked paprika for a smoky flavor.)
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter, for greasing the dish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter.
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and stir in minced garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
Assembly
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spread half of the beef mixture over the potatoes.
- Pour half of the sauce over the beef and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef mixture, sauce, and finish with the rest of the cheddar and mozzarella.
Baking
- Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Great with a green salad or steamed veggies. Cool leftovers to room temperature and refrigerate in an airtight container for 3–4 days.
