Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Sauce
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, milk, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.
💡 Tip: If you want a richer flavor, add ½ teaspoon garlic powder and onion powder to the sauce.
Step 4: Assemble the Casserole
Layering the Ingredients:
1️⃣ First Layer: Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer at the bottom of the greased baking dish.
2️⃣ Second Layer: Spoon half of the ground beef mixture over the potatoes.
3️⃣ Third Layer: Pour half of the creamy sauce evenly over the beef.
4️⃣ Repeat the layers (potatoes, beef, sauce).
5️⃣ Final Layer: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
💡 Tip: Want extra cheesy goodness? Add an extra ½ cup of cheese between the layers!
Step 5: Bake the Casserole
- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
🔥 For a crispy cheese topping:
Turn on the broiler for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
Step 6: Rest & Serve
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before serving—this helps it set and makes slicing easier.
- Garnish with chopped parsley or green onions for extra color and freshness.
