Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Large skillet
• Baking dish (9×13 inch)
• Mixing bowls
• Knife
• Cutting board
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Aluminum foil

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 4 cups potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Cooking spray

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven: to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2. Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
3. Prepare the sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Mix until smooth.
4. Assemble the casserole: Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes. Pour half of the soup mixture over the beef. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef mixture, soup mixture, and cheese.
5. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour. After 1 hour, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
6. Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
