  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 cups thinly sliced, peeled potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • Layer the dish: In a 2-quart baking dish, alternate layers of the sliced potatoes, soup mixture, and browned beef.
  • Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese on top and return to the oven until the cheese melts and becomes bubbly.
