1 pound ground beef Use lean ground beef for a healthier option.
1 medium onion, chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
4 medium potatoes, thinly sliced
1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup Can substitute with cream of chicken or cream of celery soup.
½ cup milk
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese.
½ teaspoon paprika Optional, for garnish.
1 tablespoon butter, melted For brushing on top.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up until fully cooked. Stir in the chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Grease a baking dish and layer the thinly sliced potatoes at the bottom.
Spread the cooked beef and onion mixture evenly over the potatoes.
Mix the cream of mushroom soup with the milk in a bowl until smooth, then pour over the beef layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top.
If you have extra potato slices, layer them on top and brush with melted butter.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Let it cool slightly before serving.

Serve with a side salad or fresh bread. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to three days and reheated in the oven.
