Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
- 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 (10.5-ounce) can cream of chicken soup
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 cup fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cook the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no pink remains. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add diced onion and bell peppers and cook until softened. Drain excess grease and set aside.
- In a medium bowl whisk together evaporated milk, cream of mushroom soup, and cream of chicken soup until smooth.
- Drain sliced potatoes and pat them dry.
- Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
- Top with half of the beef mixture, half of the sauce mixture, and 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
- Repeat layers with the remaining potatoes, beef mixture, sauce, and remaining cheese.
- Sprinkle fried onions over the top and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 75 to 80 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove foil and broil for 1 to 2 minutes until the top becomes golden brown.
- Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Slice potatoes thinly for even cooking.
- Drain grease from the beef to avoid excess oil in the casserole.
- Allow the casserole to rest before serving so the sauce thickens and sets.
