Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 medium russet potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 ounce can)
  • 2 cup Colby jack cheese shredded
  • fresh parsley chopped, optional


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the potatoes to about ¼ inch thick.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  4. Add the ground beef, cooking until it is browned and cooked through. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika, stirring to combine.
  5. Drain any excess fat, then sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture. Stir well and cook for another minute.
  6. Gradually add the beef broth, milk, and cream of mushroom soup while stirring constantly until the mixture thickens slightly, resembling a gravy.
  7. Layer the sliced potatoes evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the potatoes, followed by the beef mixture.
  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  9. Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top, and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
  10. Let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding other vegetables like peas or carrots to the beef mixture.
Feel free to substitute the Colby jack cheese with your favorite cheese variety for a different flavor.
This casserole can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator before baking.
