Ingredients

Scale
  • pounds ground beef (85% lean recommended)
  • 2 pounds russet potatoes, thinly sliced (about ⅛-inch thick)
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded and divided
  • 1 can (10.75 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and break apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 5-6 minutes until beginning to brown.
  3. Add diced onions to the beef and cook for another 3-4 minutes until onions are translucent and beef is no longer pink.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and bell pepper, cooking for 2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Add Worcestershire sauce, Italian herbs, paprika, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Mix well and remove from heat.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together condensed soup, milk, and sour cream until smooth.
  7. Arrange half the potato slices in an even, slightly overlapping layer in the prepared baking dish. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  8. Spread half the beef mixture over the potatoes, pour half the creamy sauce on top, and sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.
  9. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, beef mixture, and sauce (reserve the remaining cup of cheese).
  10. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 35 minutes.
  11. Remove foil, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes more until potatoes are tender and top is golden and bubbly.
  12. Let rest for 10 minutes before garnishing with parsley and serving.
