Ingredients
- 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
- Heat the oven to 375°. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
- Cook the beef, onions and garlic in a large skillet until the beef is no longer pink. Drain well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place a layer of potatoes over the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan, then add half of the beef.
- Combine the mushroom and chicken soup together and mix in the milk and evaporated milk with a whisk. Pour half of the soup over the beef and sprinkle with half of the cheese.
- Repeat the layers and top with the remaining cheese.
- Place a piece of tinfoil over the pan, making sure to tent it so it doesn’t bake to the cheese.
- Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Remove the tinfoil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.
- Remove and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing on a wire rack.

Notes
- Slicing the Potatoes. Make sure the sliced potatoes are sliced thin and about the same size so the dish cooks evenly.
- Let It Rest. Allow casserole to rest for ten minutes before serving so the flavors can meld together.
- Use Time-Savers. Consider using pre-chopped onions and garlic to save time.
- Even Layers. Assemble the casserole with even layers of ground beef, vegetables, and cheese for the best results.
- Cook Covered. This keeps the top layer from overcooking or drying out, cover your casserole with aluminum foil while baking. Uncover at the end an broil it for a golden brown top layer.
