Equipment

  • oven
  • Casserole dish
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 medium potatoes sliced thinly
  • 4 slices American cheese
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup 10-¾ ounce
  • cup milk
  • 1 ½ cups French-fried onions
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In an 8x8 casserole dish, layer the ground beef, onion, potatoes, and cheese. Sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Then, pour it over the cheesy meat and potato layers.
  • Cover it with aluminum foil, and bake it in the oven for 1 to 1 ½ hours or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  • Remove it from the oven, and sprinkle it with French-fried onions.
  • Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes, and enjoy!

Notes

Always save French fried onions for last, or they will become soggy. Place the meat and potatoes in even layers to ensure they bake evenly. If you don’t have French-fried onions, you can also use crushed potato chips. To make it vegetarian, you can swap ground beef for textured vegetable protein and bulgar wheat.
