Equipment

  • 9x13-inch pan
  • large skillet

Ingredients
  

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced

Soups and Dairy

  • 1 can (10.7 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup with or without garlic added
  • 1 can (10.7 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheese

Cooking Essentials

  • cooking spray

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Heat the oven to 375°. Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
  • Cook the beef, onions and garlic in a large skillet until the beef is no longer pink. Drain well. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place a layer of potatoes over the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan, then add half of the beef.
  • Combine the mushroom and chicken soup together and mix in the milk and evaporated milk with a whisk. Pour half of the soup over the beef and sprinkle with half of the cheese.
  • Repeat the layers and top with the remaining cheese.
  • Place a piece of tinfoil over the pan, making sure to tent it so it doesn't bake to the cheese.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Remove the tinfoil and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.
  • Remove and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing on a wire rack.

Notes

Slicing the potatoes thinly ensures even cooking. Let the casserole rest for ten minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Use pre-chopped onions and garlic to save time. Assemble with even layers for best results. Cover with aluminum foil while baking to prevent drying out; uncover at the end to broil for a golden top layer.
