This Meat & Potato Casserole is the epitome of comfort food. With its layers of tender potatoes, savory ground beef, and gooey cheddar cheese, it’s a dish that’s sure to satisfy. The creamy texture from the sour cream and milk mixture gives each bite a rich and indulgent feel.
- Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in dried thyme, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix sour cream and milk together, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the cooked meat mixture, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, meat mixture, and cheese.
- Pour the sour cream and milk mixture evenly over the casserole.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
