Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 4 cups potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step 1 — Prepare the Potatoes
Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes into even rounds.
Step 2 — Cook the Beef
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until soft.
Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Drain excess grease if needed.
Step 3 — Make the Creamy Sauce
Sprinkle flour into the beef mixture and stir well for 1 minute.
Slowly pour in the milk while stirring continuously until smooth and slightly thickened.
Step 4 — Layer the Casserole
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
Grease a baking dish and arrange a layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom.
Add a layer of the beef mixture, then sprinkle some cheese.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
Step 5 — Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Ready to Serve
Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with salad, garlic bread, or steamed vegetables for a cozy homemade meal ❤️
