Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups milk divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4-5 medium russet potatoes thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess grease and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, whisk together flour and 1/2 cup of milk over low heat until smooth. Slowly add the remaining milk, stirring continuously until thickened.
  4. Layer the Ingredients: Place half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the onions, beef, and creamy sauce. Repeat layers.
  5. Bake Covered: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
  6. Add Cheese & Finish Baking: Remove foil, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top, and bake for another 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Rest & Serve: Let the dish sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!

Notes

    • For extra flavor, add crispy bacon bits or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
    • If using frozen potatoes, ensure they are thawed and dried before layering.
    • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
