• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 small onion
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp butter
• 0.5 cup milk

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the potatoes, slice them into thin rounds, and set them aside.

Step 3

Dice the onion into small pieces.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula, and cook until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.

Step 7

Season the beef mixture with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, and milk until smooth.

Step 9

Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter.

Step 10

Layer half the potato slices evenly in the bottom of the casserole dish.

Step 11

Spread half of the ground beef mixture on top of the potatoes.

Step 12

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef layer.

Step 13

Spread 1 cup of frozen mixed vegetables on top of the cheese.

Step 14

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, ground beef mixture, shredded cheese, and mixed vegetables.

Step 15

Pour the soup mixture evenly over the top of the casserole, ensuring it seeps down into the layers.

Step 16

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 17

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 18

Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
