This beef skillet casserole features layers of seasoned ground beef and sliced potatoes baked together until golden and bubbly. The recipe takes about 1 hour from start to finish and serves 6 people.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and chopped onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat.
3. Layer the Ingredients: In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, followed by the cooked beef mixture. Pour the cream of mushroom soup over the beef, then layer the remaining potatoes on top.
4. Season and Add Milk: Sprinkle garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the potatoes. Pour the milk evenly over the top.
5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve hot.
