Ingredients

  • 4 cups thinly sliced potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet)
  • 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter or oil (for sautéing)
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onion, bell pepper, and garlic in butter or oil until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, breaking up meat as it cooks.
  4. Stir in cream of mushroom soup until evenly coated and creamy. Remove from heat.
  5. Layer half the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Spread the beef and veggie mixture evenly over the potatoes.
  7. Top with the remaining sliced potatoes.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Cover dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden and bubbly.
  11. Let rest a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired.

Notes

  • Swap ground beef for turkey or Italian sausage for different flavors.
  • Add mushrooms, spinach, or corn to boost veggie content.
  • Use cream of celery or cream of chicken soup as alternatives.
  • Add taco seasoning and pepper jack cheese for a Tex-Mex twist.
  • Sprinkle Parmesan or panko with butter on top for extra crispy crust.
