Ingredients
Scale
Ground Beef:
- 1 lb ground beef
Potatoes:
- 4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
Cream of Mushroom Soup:
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
Cheddar Cheese:
- 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
Onion:

Butter:
- 2 tbsp butter
Salt and Pepper:

Optional Additions:
- 1 cup frozen peas, carrots, or green beans
- ¼ cup bacon bits
- ½ tsp garlic powder or paprika (for seasoning)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook the Ground Beef: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté diced onion for 3 minutes until soft. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Assemble the Casserole: Spread cooked beef evenly in the baking dish. Spoon cream of mushroom soup over the beef and spread it out. Layer potato slices on top, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously over the potatoes.

- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving to help the layers set.
