Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cook Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and onion until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is translucent. Drain excess grease.
Combine Ingredients: Stir sliced potatoes, cream of mushroom soup, and milk into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are just tender.
Transfer to Casserole Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased casserole dish, spreading evenly.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve: Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, replace ground beef with plant-based meat and use vegetarian cream soup.
Add vegetables like carrots, peas, or green beans for extra flavor and nutrition.
To ensure evenly cooked potatoes, slice them uniformly, about 1/8-inch thick.
