  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and sliced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 4 cups cheddar cheese, shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with diced onion, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until no longer pink. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together cream of chicken soup, evaporated milk, milk, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and onion powder.
  4. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Layer one-third of the potatoes, one-third of the beef mixture, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Repeat layers two more times.
  6. Pour the milk mixture evenly over the top so it seeps into all layers.
  7. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 1 hour, until potatoes are tender.
  8. Remove foil, sprinkle remaining cheese, and bake uncovered for 5 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  9. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef with ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • Use low-fat cheddar cheese if you prefer a healthier version.
  • Serve with garlic bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
