Description
A comforting and filling casserole featuring seasoned ground beef, thinly sliced potatoes, and two types of cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup beef broth or water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, minced garlic, and diced onion. Cook until the meat is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the dried Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes. Grease a baking dish and layer half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom.
- Spoon and spread the beef mixture over the potatoes, then layer the remaining potato slices on top.
- In a bowl, whisk together the milk and beef broth. Pour this mixture evenly over the layers. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for about 45 minutes, until the potatoes are fork-tender. Remove foil and sprinkle cheddar and Parmesan over the top. Bake an additional 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
- Let it rest before serving.
Notes
Use lean ground beef to reduce excess grease. Swap milk for half-and-half for richness or use low-sodium broth. Fresh thyme can be used instead of parsley.
