Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Season the beef mixture with paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.

Step 5

Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, overlapping slightly.

Step 6

Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes, followed by half of the soup mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, beef mixture, soup mixture, and shredded cheese.

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 10

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
