Equipment

  • measuring cups and spoons
  • 9 x 13 inch cake pan
  • large skillet
  • colander
  • cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon 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
  • ½ 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.

Notes

Make sure the sliced potatoes are sliced thin and about the same size so the dish cooks evenly. Allow casserole to rest for ten minutes before serving so the flavors can meld together. Consider using pre-chopped onions and garlic to save time. Assemble the casserole with even layers of ground beef, vegetables, and cheese for the best results. Cover your casserole with aluminum foil while baking and uncover at the end to broil for a golden brown top layer.
