1 lb ground beef Use fresh ground beef for best flavor.
4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced Fresh potatoes hold up better than pre-packaged.
1 medium onion, diced Adds savory flavor to the beef mixture.
2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a blend) Experiment with different cheese types for flavor.
1 can cream of mushroom soup Or use a homemade version if preferred.
1 cup milk Helps create a creamy texture.
Salt and pepper to taste Season to personal preference.
Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or your favorite herbs Add for extra flavor.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with diced onions until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
In a separate bowl, mix cream of mushroom soup with milk. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer.

In a greased casserole dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, followed by the cooked ground beef mixture, and half of the cheese.
Pour half of the soup mixture over the top. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, beef, and soup.
Finally, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top layer.

Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
