Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 cups thinly sliced potatoes (about 2 medium)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  5. In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes.
  6. Spread the ground beef mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  7. Top with the remaining sliced potatoes.
  8. Pour the milk over the potatoes and beef mixture.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  10. Cover the baking dish with foil.
  11. Bake for 45 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  13. Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can add a layer of cream of mushroom soup or a can of diced tomatoes to the beef mixture.
  • Ensure your potato slices are thin and uniform for even cooking.
  • If you prefer a crispier topping, you can broil the casserole for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
