Method
 

How to Make Cheesy Ground Beef and Potato Casserole
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a baking dish with nonstick spray.
  2. Cook the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat with the chopped onion and minced garlic until browned, about 7–10 minutes.
  3. Mix together the cooked beef, cream of mushroom soup, whole milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.
  4. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the greased baking dish. Add half of the meat mixture followed by half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layering process.
  5. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Cool the casserole for a few minutes before serving.
