  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika (optional)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tbsp butter (optional, for extra richness)

  • Instructions

    1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or butter.
    2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess grease. Stir in salt, pepper, and paprika if using.
    3. Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Stir until smooth.
    4. Layer the Casserole: Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in the prepared baking dish. Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture on top, followed by half of the sauce. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese over the layer. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, ground beef, sauce, and cheeses, ending with a generous sprinkle of cheddar on top.
    5. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
    6. Serve: Let the casserole cool for about 5 minutes before serving. Pair it with a side salad or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
    7. Enjoy the warm, cheesy goodness of this casserole that’s sure to satisfy every craving! Would you like a specific side dish suggestion or tips for making it ahead?
