Equipment

  • large skillet
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups
  • peeler
  • Chef's Knife or mandolin slicer

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 white onion, chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
  • Add the olive oil to a large skillet and add the chopped onions. Cook for 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are browned.
    1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 white onion, chopped
  • Add the ground beef to the pan and cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 6-7 minutes. Break up the ground beef into small crumbles as it cooks.
    1 pound ground beef
  • Drain the grease from the pan and discard.
  • Stir in the condensed soup, milk, salt and pepper then remove the pan from the heat. 
    1 can (10.5 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, 3/4 cup milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Scoop about ½ cup of the soup mix into a 9x13 baking dish and spread it across the bottom of the pan. Then, add a layer of sliced potatoes. Alternate between a layer of soup mix and potatoes until your pan is full.
    3 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • Bake the casserole for one hour then remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle with the cheese. Place the dish back in the oven and bake for another 20 minutes. The cheese will be melted and the casserole will be bubbling around the edges.
    1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Let cool for about 15 minutes then serve!

Notes

  • Use ground turkey or chicken in place of ground beef. 
  • I like to peel my potatoes but you can skip this step to save time. Potato peels are completely edible! 
  • Replace the cream of mushroom soup with cream of broccoli soup for a new twist. 
  • Russet potatoes and Yukon gold potatoes both work well.
