Ingredients
– 6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
– 2 tablespoons butter or cooking oil
– 1 onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
– 1 teaspoon bouillon powder (or substitute with salt)
– 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon oregano
– 2 tablespoons flour
– 1 cup beef broth
– ½ cup milk
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1-Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C): Prepare all ingredients by washing and slicing the potatoes, dicing onions, and mincing garlic to streamline the cooking process.
2-Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, breaking it up to ensure even cooking. Drain excess fat to keep the dish light.
3-Sauté the diced onion and garlic in the same skillet until softened and fragrant, then mix them with the ground beef.
4-Layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly in a greased baking dish. Spread half of the ground beef mixture over the potatoes, then dollop with half of the other ingredients as needed.
5-Repeat the layering with the remaining potatoes, beef mixture, and seasonings, ensuring an even distribution for consistent flavor in every bite.
6-Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden and crispy.
7-Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and the dish to set.
