1 lb Ground Beef
4 Medium Potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8″)
1 Onion, chopped
2 Garlic Cloves, minced
2 cups Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
½ cup Milk (or Broth)
½ cup Cooked Bacon Bits (optional)
Salt & Pepper to taste
Fresh Herbs (Parsley or Thyme, optional)
Preheat Oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Cook the Beef: In a skillet, brown ground beef with onion and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess grease.
Mix Sauce: In a bowl, combine mushroom soup and milk (or broth) until smooth.
Assemble Layers: In the dish, layer half of the potatoes, then half of the beef mixture, a sprinkle of bacon bits (if using), and half the cheese. Repeat layers. Pour soup mixture evenly over the top.
Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes, until potatoes are fork-tender. Remove foil, add remaining cheese, and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes.
Garnish & Serve: Top with fresh herbs if desired. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
