A budget-friendly one-dish dinner of layered ground beef, thinly sliced potatoes, and melted cheese, perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 to 5 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned, about 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Spread the beef and onion mixture in an even layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange the thinly sliced potatoes on top in overlapping layers.
  5. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning, additional salt and pepper. Combine the cheddar and Parmesan, then scatter the cheese evenly over the potatoes.
  6. Pour the beef broth around the edges of the casserole. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  7. Remove the foil and return the casserole to the oven. Bake uncovered for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a creamier texture, stir 1/2 cup sour cream into the beef mixture before layering. Use low-sodium broth and adjust salt as needed.
