Ingredients

Scale

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)

Instructions

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.
