Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 large potatoes, sliced thin
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for sautéing
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the potatoes thin for even cooking, chop the onion, and mince the garlic. This will ensure quick assembly and perfect texture in every bite.
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant. Stir in the ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, and paprika for added flavor.
- In a baking dish, spread half of the sliced potatoes. Top with the cooked ground beef mixture, then layer the remaining potatoes on top. Dollop the sour cream over the dish and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese for a cheesy crust.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for about 40 minutes. Remove the foil in the last 10 minutes to allow the cheese to brown and become crispy. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving if desired.
Notes
- You can customize the casserole by adding vegetables like carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini for extra nutrition.
- For a lower-carb version, substitute potatoes with cauliflower slices or zucchini.
- This dish can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated, then baked when ready for a quick and comforting meal.
