A comforting and flavorful casserole combining beef and potatoes, perfect for a satisfying meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking throughout the dish.
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds.
Uniform slices help the potatoes cook evenly.
In a large bowl, mix the ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Mix gently to avoid overworking the meat, which can make it tough.
Layer half of the potato slices in a greased baking dish.
Overlapping the slices slightly creates a nice texture.
Spread the beef mixture evenly over the potato layer.
Press down lightly to ensure an even layer.
Top with the remaining potato slices, then cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
Check the potatoes for tenderness by inserting a fork.
Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
Baking uncovered allows the cheese to melt and brown slightly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting helps the layers set, making it easier to serve.
