Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

4–5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced

1 tbsp olive oil

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup beef broth

¼ cup milk (optional)

1 tsp Italian seasoning

½ tsp paprika

Salt & pepper, to taste

1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Thinly slice the potatoes to ¼-inch thickness.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef, season with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned.
  4. Grease a baking dish and layer half of the potatoes, followed by half of the cooked beef and half of the cheddar cheese.
  5. Repeat the layers, then pour beef broth (and milk, if using) over the top.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes.
  7. Remove foil, top with Parmesan cheese, and bake uncovered for 10 more minutes until golden brown.
  8. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • Add red pepper flakes or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Substitute ground beef with mushrooms or lentils for a vegetarian version.
  • Try using different cheese blends or potatoes for variation.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze before baking for up to 2 months.
  • Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through.
