Ingredients
  

For the Casserole
  • 1.5 pounds ground beef the star protein that gives this dish its hearty base.
  • 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes sliced for a creamy, buttery texture.
  • 1 small onion diced to add sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic minced (optional) for added flavor.
  • 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese for a melty, gooey topping.
  • 10.5 ounces cream of mushroom soup adds creaminess and umami.
  • 0.5 cup milk helps create a cohesive sauce.
  • 1 teaspoon salt enhances flavors.
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper adds a mild kick.
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika provides warmth and depth.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley for garnish.

Equipment

  • 9×13-inch casserole dish
  • large skillet
  • Medium Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch casserole dish.
  2. In a large skillet, brown 1.5 pounds of ground beef over medium heat for 5-7 minutes. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, 0.5 cup of milk, salt, black pepper, and paprika until smooth.
  4. Layer half of the sliced Yukon Gold potatoes in the casserole dish, followed by half of the beef mixture, a portion of the soup mixture, and some cheddar cheese.
  5. Repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, beef mixture, soup mixture, and finish with cheddar cheese.
  6. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. The potatoes should be tender and the casserole bubbling.
  7. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes to achieve a golden top.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving, garnishing with fresh parsley.
