# Ingredients:
→ Casserole Base
01 -
1 tbsp olive oil
02 -
1 medium onion, diced
03 -
4–5 medium potatoes, sliced thinly
04 -
1 lb ground beef
05 -
½ cup beef broth
06 -
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
07 -
¼ cup milk (optional)
→ Seasonings & Toppings
08 -
1 ½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
09 -
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
10 -
1 tsp Italian herbs
11 -
½ tsp paprika
12 -
Salt and pepper, as needed
13 -
Fresh parsley for decorating
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to warm up. Slice the potatoes into ¼-inch rounds.
02 -
Warm olive oil in a frying pan on medium. Add garlic and onion, stirring until aromatic. Toss in ground beef, sprinkle with paprika, Italian seasoning, pepper, and salt, and cook it through.
03 -
Coat a baking dish lightly with oil and arrange half of the potato slices. Add half of the beef mixture on top. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat these steps with the remaining ingredients, then drizzle the broth (and milk if you'd like) all over.
04 -
Cover the dish with foil and bake for roughly 35-40 minutes. Remove the foil, scatter Parmesan cheese on top, and bake uncovered for about 10 minutes until it turns a nice golden brown.
05 -
Let it cool off for about 5 minutes. Add some parsley for a fresh touch, and dig in!
# Notes:
01 -
To make it creamier, throw in extra cheese or add a splash of heavy cream.
02 -
Slice potatoes thinly so they cook evenly.
03 -
Crank up the heat by sprinkling in red pepper flakes.
