Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef Use any ground meat of your choice.
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice) Feel free to experiment with other cheeses.
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup Can substitute with cream of chicken soup.
  • 1 cup milk
  • Olive oil for cooking
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until soft and fragrant.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Season it generously with salt and pepper, and cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with the sliced potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Mix everything together until well combined.
  5. Transfer the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Sprinkle your shredded cheese on top, distributing it evenly.
  7. Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake for about 45 minutes.
  8. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. If desired, garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
