Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1 pound ground beef
• nonstick cooking spray
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
• 3 cups thinly sliced, peeled potatoes
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

While the potatoes are baking, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with nonstick spray.

Step 3

Place sliced potatoes in a large bowl. Pour melted butter over top and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt; mix until potatoes are thoroughly coated. Arrange potato slices in overlapping slices to cover the bottom and sides of the dish.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 5

Transfer beef to a large bowl and add condensed soup, 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, and milk. Season with salt and pepper; mix until well combined.

Step 6

Remove potatoes from the oven. Spread beef mixture on top and return to the oven. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Top with remaining Cheddar and bake until melted, 4 to 5 more minutes.
