Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the ground beef:

- Prepare the sauce:
- In a bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.

- Spread a layer of potato slices on the bottom of the dish.
- Add a layer of the cooked ground beef mixture.
- Pour a portion of the soup mixture over the beef.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with potatoes on top.
- Bake:
- Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
- Add cheese:
- Remove the foil, sprinkle shredded cheese on top, and return to the oven for 10–15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
