Description
A delicious and hearty casserole made with ground beef, potatoes, and a creamy cheese sauce, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat: Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the beef: Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes. Drain excess grease. Add garlic, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
- Make the sauce: In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
- Layer: Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Spread half of the beef mixture over the potatoes, followed by half of the soup mixture and 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Repeat: Add the remaining potatoes, beef, soup mixture, and cheddar. Finish with the mozzarella.
- Bake covered: Cover tightly with foil and bake for 50–55 minutes, until the potatoes are tender.
- Brown the cheese: Remove the foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbling.
- Rest: Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add some diced jalapeños to the beef mixture.
- Feel free to substitute the ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter option.
