Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or butter.
- In a skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
Assembling the Casserole
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Spread half of the beef mixture over the potatoes.
- Pour half of the soup mixture over the beef and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, beef, soup, followed by the rest of the cheddar and mozzarella.
Baking
- Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
This casserole pairs well with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables. To store leftovers, let the casserole cool completely, cover tightly, and refrigerate for 3-4 days or freeze for 2-3 months.
