Ingredients
1 pound crumbled ground beef
1 yellow onion, diced
3 to 4 pounds peeled and sliced potatoes
8 ounces or more shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cheddar cheese soup mix
12 ounces evaporated milk, or whole milk
½ cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon pepper
How to make:
- Preheat oven to 350*
- Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray
- In a large skillet, add the onion and ground beef and cook until the meat is cooked through.
- Slice potatoes into about ¼-inch slices
Add a single layer of potatoes to the bottom of the baking dish
Sprinkle with salt and pepper
Cover with about ⅓ of the meat mixture and spread evenly over the potatoes
Sprinkle with ⅓ of the shredded cheese
Repeat two more layers
The last layer should be the remaining cheese
In a bowl, combine the cheddar cheese soup mixture, milk, and evaporated milk, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the soup mixture over the potato and beef mixture
Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and place in the oven
Bake for 1 hour
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to get a golden crust on the cheese.
If the potatoes are thick, you will need to bake the dish longer
