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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1½ cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown ground beef in a skillet; drain grease. Add onion, Worcestershire sauce, garlic & onion powders, salt & pepper. Cook 2 minutes.
  3. In a bowl, whisk mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
  4. Grease a 9×13” baking dish. Layer: half potatoes → half beef → half soup mix. Repeat layers.
  5. Top with cheddar cheese. Cover with foil.
  6. Bake for 50 minutes. Uncover and bake 10–15 minutes more.
  7. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • Slice potatoes very thin for even baking.
  • Let the dish rest before cutting—it firms up beautifully.
  • You can prep and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
