Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 tbsp garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 can (10.7 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup, with or without garlic added
  • 1 can (10.7 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 375°. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Cook the beef, onions and garlic in a large skillet until the beef is no longer pink. Drain well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place a layer of potatoes over the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan, then add half of the beef.
  • Combine the mushroom and chicken soup together and mix in the milk and evaporated milk with a whisk. Pour half of the soup over the beef and sprinkle with half of the cheese.
  • Repeat the layers and top with the remaining cheese.
  • Place a piece of tinfoil over the pan, making sure to tent it so it doesn't bake to the cheese.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Remove the tinfoil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Remove and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing on a wire rack.

Recipe Notes

  • Slice the potatoes thinly. Keep the slices about the same thickness so they become tender and cook evenly.
  • Drain the beef well. Removing the excess grease before layering helps keep the casserole creamy without becoming oily.
  • Tent the foil. Make sure the foil doesn’t touch the cheese while the casserole bakes, or the melted cheese may stick to it.
  • Keep the layers even. Spread the potatoes, beef, creamy soup mixture, and cheese evenly throughout the pan so every serving gets a little of everything.
  • Don’t skip the resting time. Let the casserole stand for 10 minutes after baking. This gives it time to settle and makes it easier to slice and serve.
