Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 3-4 medium potatoes thinly sliced

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can 10.5 oz condensed cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- Paprika or dried herbs optional, for seasoning
Instructions
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Ingredients:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Peel (if desired) and thinly slice the potatoes. Set aside.
Cook the Ground Beef:
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the meat is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Prepare the Creamy Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together the condensed soup, milk, and sour cream until smooth.
Assemble the Casserole:
- In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes.
- Spread half of the cooked ground beef over the potatoes.
- Pour half of the creamy sauce over the beef and potatoes.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef, and sauce.
- Sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese and a dash of paprika or dried herbs if using.
Bake:
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
Serve:
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set for easier slicing.
