INGREDIENTS
1 pound ground beef
1 yellow onion, finely diced
3-4 pounds potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
8 oz shredded Cheddar cheese (feel free to add more for extra cheesiness)
1 can Cheddar cheese soup mix
12 oz evaporated milk (or use whole milk for a creamier texture)
½ cup regular milk
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
PREPARATION STEPS
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion until fully browned.
Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, then season with salt and pepper.
Spread one-third of the beef mixture over the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of one-third of the shredded cheese.
Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Cheddar cheese soup, evaporated milk, and regular milk until smooth and creamy. Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 hour. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling.
