Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Add the ground beef to a lightly greased 12-inch cast iron skillet in an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the onion mushroom soup packet evenly over the top.
  • Slice potatoes and layer on top of the ground beef.
  • Sprinkle the grated cheese on top of the potatoes.
  • Add cans of soup, milk, and Worcestershire Sauce to a large mixing bowl.
  • Whisk until smooth.
  • Spoon soup mixture over the top of the cheese layer, smoothing it out evenly.
  • Tightly cover with aluminum foil.
  • Place on a baking sheet in the preheated oven. The baking sheet will catch any spills.

  • Place under a hot broiler for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Watch carefully.
