  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 5 –6 medium russet potatoes thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch)

  • 0.5 tsp paprika optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  3. Whisk together cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
  4. Layer half the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish.
  5. Spread half the beef mixture over potatoes.
  6. Pour half the sauce over beef and sprinkle with 1 cup cheddar.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, beef, sauce, and finish with the rest of the cheddar + mozzarella.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly and golden.
  10. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a combination of sharp cheddar and Gruyere cheese.
