Ingredients:

    (or cream of chicken if preferred)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup frozen corn (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter for cooking

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the ground beef:
    • In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil or butter.
    • Sauté the diced onion until it becomes translucent.
    • Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks.
    • Cook until browned and no longer pink. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Layer the potatoes:
    • Spread a layer of sliced potatoes evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    • Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Assemble the casserole:
    • Spoon half of the cooked ground beef over the potatoes.
    • Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top of the beef.
    • Add another layer of potatoes and season with salt and pepper.
    • Add the remaining ground beef on top.
  5. Make the creamy sauce:
    • In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
    • Pour this mixture evenly over the layers in the baking dish.
    • If using, sprinkle frozen corn on top.
  6. Top with cheese:
    • Finish with the remaining cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Bake the casserole:
    • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  8. Garnish and serve:
    • Sprinkle with dried parsley before serving.
    • Allow the casserole to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy warm!
