1 lb ground beef
1 small onion, diced
3–4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom or cream of cheddar soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, cook ground beef and diced onion until browned. Drain excess fat.
Stir in garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
In a bowl, mix soup with milk until smooth.
In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half the sliced potatoes, half the beef mixture, and half the soup mixture. Repeat the layers.
Cover with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove foil, sprinkle cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for 10–15 more minutes until bubbly and golden.
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.
