Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced Russet or Yukon Gold work well.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese For topping.
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For cooking.
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir in the cooked beef mixture.
  5. In a greased casserole dish, layer the sliced potatoes and beef mixture alternately. Finish with a layer of potatoes on top.
Baking
  1. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake for an additional 15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  3. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

If your potatoes are on the thicker side, give the bake an extra 10–15 minutes covered. For potluck, serve with roasted vegetables or a sweet-savory side like glazed sausage and potatoes. Try it with a crisp green salad and a slice of buttered bread for simple pleasures.
