Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 4 medium Potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken or beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Butter, for greasing the baking dish
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and no longer pink, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the onions are softened.
Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian seasoning. Stir well and set the mixture aside.
Wash, peel (if desired), and thinly slice the potatoes. Layer one-third of the potato slices evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread half of the cooked beef mixture over the potato layer, followed by a third of the shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat with another layer of potatoes, the remaining beef mixture, and another third of the cheese.
Finish with a final layer of potatoes and the remaining cheese spread evenly across the top.
In a mixing bowl, combine the heavy cream and broth. Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole.
Cover the baking 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 potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving.
