Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Large skillet
• 9×13-inch baking dish
• Sharp knife or mandoline (for slicing potatoes)
• Large mixing bowl
• Aluminum foil
• Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced
• 4-5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat.
3. Mix the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
4. Layer the Casserole: In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes at the bottom. Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes.

5. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. After 60 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden on top.
