Ingredients:

1 pound ground beef

4 large potatoes, thinly sliced

1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup

1/2 cup milk

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Cook Ground Beef:

In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until crumbly. Drain excess grease and season with salt and pepper.

Layer Potatoes and Beef:

Arrange a layer of thinly sliced potatoes at the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Spread the cooked ground beef evenly over the potatoes.

Prepare Soup Mixture:

In a medium bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with milk until well combined.

Pour this mixture over the beef layer in the baking dish.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.

Add Cheese:

Remove the casserole and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve:

Let the casserole stand for 5 minutes before serving. This allows it to set slightly for easier serving.

Serving Suggestions:

Pair this hearty casserole with a crisp green salad, steamed vegetables, garlic bread, or cornbread.

For an extra touch of comfort, serve with pickles and sour cream or a sprinkle of extra cheese.
