Meat and Potato Casserole

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Set to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with butter.

2. Cook the meat: In a skillet, brown the ground beef with diced onion until fully cooked. Drain excess fat and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

3. Prepare the sauce: In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.

4. Layer the casserole:

   • Spread half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the dish.

   • Add half the cooked beef mixture.

   • Pour half the soup mixture over it.

   • Repeat the layers and top with shredded cheese.

5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.

6. Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tip:
For extra flavor, sprinkle some crispy bacon bits or green onions on top before serving. You can also substitute ground turkey or sausage for a tasty twist.
