Ground Beef and Potato Bake
\nIngredients
\nINGREDIENT\tAMOUNT
\nGround beef\t1 lb
\nPotatoes, thinly sliced\t4 medium
\nOnion, chopped\t1
\nShredded cheddar cheese\t1 cup
\nCream of mushroom soup\t1 can (10 \u00bd oz)
\nSalt and black pepper\tTo taste
\nDirections
\nStep 1: Prep and Brown
\nPreheat your oven to 375\u00b0F. In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the meat is fully browned and the onions are tender. Drain excess grease to prevent a soggy casserole.Food<\/p>\n
Step 2: Layer the Base
\nIn a large baking dish, arrange half of the thinly sliced potatoes in an even layer. Top with half of the cooked beef and onions, and season generously with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Add Cream and Cheese
\nSpread half of the cream of mushroom soup over the beef layer, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Repeat Layers
\nLayer the remaining potatoes, beef, soup, and cheese. Cover tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam, which will cook the potatoes evenly.<\/p>\n
Step 5: Bake
\nBake covered for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to let the cheese turn golden and bubbly, and allow excess moisture to evaporate.<\/p>\n
