Instructions
  1. 1

    Prep

    Preheat the oven to 350F. Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, even quarter-inch rounds so they cook through evenly.

  1. 2

    Brown the beef

    Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks, until no pink remains. Drain off the fat.

  2. 3

    Mix the sauce

    In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, pepper, and salt until smooth.

  3. 4

    Layer it up

    Grease an 8x8 baking dish. Layer in half the sliced potatoes, half the beef, half the sauce, and half the shredded cheddar. Repeat the layers with the rest, finishing with cheese on top.

  4. 5

    Bake

    Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Uncover and bake 30 minutes more, until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is bubbly and golden. Let it rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes & Tips

This is the kind of dinner that stretches a pound of ground beef across four hungry people. Beef, a few potatoes, and a can of soup you probably already have in the cupboard runs right around $2.50 a serving. The one rule: slice the potatoes thin and even. Thick slices are the number one reason these casseroles come out crunchy in the middle. Leftovers reheat like a dream.
