Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground beef
4 medium Russet potatoes (about 2 lbs), thinly sliced
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp butter (for greasing)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds (about 1/8 inch thick).
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Add diced onions and sauté until translucent.
Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir in the milk until combined.
Grease a baking dish with butter. Layer half of the sliced potatoes on the bottom, followed by half of the beef mixture and half of the cheese. Repeat layers, finishing with cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes to achieve a golden crust.
