Drain excess grease to prevent a soggy casserole.Food<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Layer the Base<br \/>\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<p>Step 3: Add Cream and Cheese<br \/>\nSpread half of the cream of mushroom soup over the beef layer, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Repeat Layers<br \/>\nLayer the remaining potatoes, beef, soup, and cheese. Cover tightly with aluminum foil to trap steam, which will cook the potatoes evenly.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: Bake<br \/>\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<p>Discover more<br \/>\nDressing<br \/>\nbread<br \/>\nStuffing Mixes<br \/>\nSunscreen<br \/>\nCheese<br \/>\nBeef<br \/>\nBread<br \/>\nButtermilk<br \/>\nbuttermilk<br \/>\nstuffed<br \/>\nStep 6: Rest and Serve<br \/>\nLet the casserole sit for 5\u201310 minutes before serving.
