  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Thinly slice the potatoes and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Grease a baking dish. Spread a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom. Top with cooked ground beef. Repeat layers if desired.
  4. Pour cream of mushroom or chicken soup evenly over the layered ingredients. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes until potatoes are tender. Uncover during the last 10 minutes to melt and brown the cheese.
  6. Let sit for a few minutes before serving. Pair with salad or steamed vegetables if desired.

Notes

  • Can substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes for a sweeter flavor.
  • Use Greek yogurt or homemade light béchamel as a healthier alternative to soup.
  • Layer additional ingredients like chopped onions or garlic for extra flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat covered in the oven at 350°F (175°C) or microwave until heated through.
