Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 medium russet potatoes
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 cup green beans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel and slice the potatoes into thin, even rounds (about 1/4-inch thick). Set aside in cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

Dice the onion into small pieces.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and diced onion. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Drain any excess fat.

Step 6

In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth. Set aside.

Step 7

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

Step 8

Drain and layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom of the dish.

Step 9

Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes.

Step 10

If using green beans, sprinkle them evenly over the ground beef layer.

Step 11

Pour half of the soup mixture over the layers. Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, ground beef, and soup mixture.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove the foil, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 14

Let the hot dish cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy Nana’s comforting classic!
