Ingredients
1 pound ground beef

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 can cream of mushroom soup (10.5 oz)
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Wash, peel, and thinly slice potatoes (about 1/8-inch thick).
4. Layer half the potatoes in the baking dish, followed by half of the beef mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes and beef.
5. In a bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup and milk. Pour evenly over the casserole.
6. Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes.
7. Remove foil, sprinkle with cheddar cheese, and bake uncovered for 15–20 more minutes until golden and bubbly.
8. Let rest 5–10 minutes before serving.
Notes
This recipe feeds 6 hearty portions.
Use Yukon Gold or red potatoes for best texture.
Let casserole rest before slicing so the layers hold together better.
