Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium potatoes (peeled and sliced into ¼ inch pieces)
  • 1 10.5 oz can cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic minced
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 8 oz cheddar cheese (shredded)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium skillet, brown the ground beef, breaking it up as it cooks until it is no longer pink.
  3. Peel and slice the potatoes into ¼ inch pieces.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic, pepper, and salt.
  5. Grease an 8x8 inch casserole dish. Start layering by placing half of the potatoes, half of the cooked meat, half of the sauce, and half of the cheese in the dish. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
Baking
  1. Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding other seasonings or vegetables like onions or bell peppers when browning the ground beef. To save time, you can use pre-cooked beef or leftover roast beef. If you like a crispy topping, sprinkle some breadcrumbs or additional cheese on top during the last 15 minutes of baking.
