  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 5 medium potatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 can (10.7 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup with or without garlic added
  • 1 can (10.7 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prep: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F and spraying your 9×13-inch pan with cooking spray. This will help keep everything from sticking (and trust me, it makes cleanup a breeze later).
  2. Cook the beef mixture: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onions and minced garlic. Stir occasionally, breaking up the meat as it cooks, until the beef is no longer pink. Drain any excess grease to keep the casserole from becoming too oily. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Layer the potatoes and beef: Spread a layer of thinly sliced potatoes over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then, add half of the cooked beef mixture on top of the potatoes.
  4. Mix and pour the creamy sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, evaporated milk, and regular milk. Whisk until smooth. Pour half of this mixture over the beef layer, making sure to spread it evenly.
  5. Add cheese: Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese over the sauce. This layer of cheese will melt into the casserole, giving it a rich, gooey texture.
  6. Repeat the layers: Add another layer of potatoes, the remaining beef, the rest of the sauce, and finish with the remaining cheese on top.
  7. Cover and bake: Cover the pan with aluminum foil, making sure to tent it slightly so it doesn’t touch the cheese. Bake for 1 hour. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  8. Let it rest: Once you take it out of the oven, let the casserole sit for about 10 minutes before serving. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to slice.

Notes

This casserole makes fantastic leftovers! Once it’s cooled, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer individual portions to an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover with foil and bake at 350°F until warmed through, about 20-25 minutes. You can also microwave individual portions—just cover them with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
