Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Season the beef mixture with paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, overlapping slightly.
Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes, followed by half of the soup mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, beef mixture, soup mixture, and shredded cheese.
Cover the casserole dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired.
