Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
-
Lightly coat an 11×7-inch glass baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

In a pan over medium heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and seasonings (garlic powder, paprika, or rosemary if desired), with salt and pepper to taste until the beef is browned and onions are softened. Drain any excess fat.
-
In a bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, stock, and milk or cream. Stir until smooth and well-blended.

Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish, pour 1/4 of the soup mixture over, scatter half of the cooked meat, and top with half of the shredded cheese. Repeat layers with the remaining potatoes, soup, meat, and cheese.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
-
Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving. Cut into portions and enjoy warm.
