450 g ground beef

1 teaspoon garlic powder

120 ml whole milk
09 -
1 can (approx. 300 g) condensed cream of mushroom soup
→ Topping
10 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
11 -
1 cup breadcrumbs
12 -
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Let your casserole chill for 10 minutes before digging in.
02 -
Pop the foil over your dish and bake it for about 45 minutes. Take it off and let it bake for another 15 minutes, or until the top’s crisp and your potatoes are soft.
03 -
Cover everything with the shredded cheddar. Mix melted butter with breadcrumbs in a separate bowl, then spread that crunchy mix on top of your cheese.
04 -
Start with half the sauce, beef, and onion. Lay down the remaining potatoes, followed by the rest of the beef and onion, and end with the last of the sauce.
05 -
Stir together your condensed soup, milk, garlic powder, dried thyme, some salt, and pepper in a bowl until it’s smooth.
06 -
Get your skillet hot on medium, crumble in the ground beef, and keep cooking until it isn’t pink anymore. Drain away that extra grease.
07 -
Turn your oven on to 190°C and grease up a 23 × 33 cm pan.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Cut the potatoes into slices the same thickness, so they all cook through evenly.
02 -
Waiting before slicing lets everything set up better and makes it taste even richer.
