This hearty casserole layers seasoned ground beef under thinly sliced potatoes and melty cheese for an easy one‑dish meal that feels like a hug on a plate.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4-5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup milk (optional)
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Brown the ground beef in a large skillet with oil, breaking it up until no pink remains; drain excess fat if needed.
  3. Stir in chopped onion and minced garlic and cook until the onion is softened.
  4. Spread the seasoned beef evenly in the dish.
  5. Arrange thin potato slices in overlapping layers on top.
  6. Season the potatoes with pepper, dried Italian seasoning, and paprika.
  7. Scatter shredded cheddar and grated Parmesan over the potatoes.
  8. Pour beef broth around the edges so it seeps under the potatoes; drizzle milk over the top if using.
  9. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. Remove foil and bake for another 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden and bubbly.
  11. Let rest for a few minutes, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.

Notes

Slice potatoes uniformly for even cooking. Brown beef in batches if the pan is crowded for better flavor.
