Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean or medium-fat ground beef
  • 4–5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 ½ cups shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Brown the Ground Beef and Onions: Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the ground beef along with the chopped onions until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent. Drain any excess fat to keep the casserole from being greasy.
  2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch casserole dish. Arrange a layer of thinly sliced potatoes evenly on the bottom to create the foundation for the casserole.
  3. Layer the Beef and Vegetables: Spread the cooked ground beef and onion mixture evenly over the potatoes. Sprinkle mixed vegetables on top to add color and nutrition.
  4. Add Cream of Mushroom Soup and Seasonings: Pour the cream of mushroom soup evenly across the layered ingredients. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to enhance the flavor and bind the casserole layers together.
  5. Top with Cheese and Bake: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the entire casserole. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the beef; brown just enough to keep it juicy and flavorful.
  • Slice potatoes thinly using a mandoline or sharp knife for even cooking.
  • Distribute ingredients evenly in layers for consistent flavors throughout.
  • Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes after baking to help it set before serving.
  • Experiment with different cheeses or add crunchy toppings like crushed crackers or fried onions for extra texture.
