Ingredients
500 g (1 lb) ground beef
4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves (optional), minced
1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream (or cooking cream)
200 g (about 2 cups) shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese blend)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil or butter, for sautéing
Optional spices: paprika, dried oregano, parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a skillet, heat oil or butter and sauté onion and garlic until fragrant and soft.
Add ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs/spices. Set aside.
Lightly grease a baking dish. Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes on the bottom.
Spread half the cooked beef mixture on top. Sprinkle with a portion of shredded cheese.
Repeat layers: potatoes → beef → cheese. End with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Mix the milk and cream in a bowl. Pour evenly over the entire casserole.
Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes.
Remove foil and bake an additional 15–20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and top is golden.
Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Add spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini between layers for extra nutrients.
Can be assembled ahead of time and baked later.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
