  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20 recommended)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 14-ounce can cheese soup
  • 12 ounces evaporated milk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  3. Layer half of the potato slices in the greased baking dish and sprinkle with half of the salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the beef and onion mixture over the potato layer and add half of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Layer the remaining potato slices on top, seasoning with the rest of the salt and pepper, and finish with the remaining cheddar cheese.

Notes

This recipe is quite flexible; feel free to swap ingredients like ground beef for turkey or different types of cheese. Leftovers improve in flavor and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. For best results, ensure even potato slices and drain the beef well. Let the casserole rest after baking for perfect slices. Enjoy with a simple salad or crusty bread!
