Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs Ground beef
- 1 Small onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 can Mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Cheese
- 1 bag Frozen potatoes
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 cup Corn if you want
Instructions
Heat the Oven
- Set your oven to 375°F. Put some oil or butter in your baking dish. This stops the food from sticking.
Cook the Beef
- Put the beef and onions in a pan. Cook them until the meat is brown. Pour out the extra fat.
Add the Spices
- Put the garlic, salt, and pepper in the pan. Stir it for one minute. It will smell very good.
Make the Sauce
- In a bowl, mix the soup, milk, and sour cream. Stir it until it is smooth. This is the creamy part.
Mix Meat and Sauce
- Put the sauce into the pan with the beef. Add the corn now. Mix it all together well.
Fill the Dish
- Put the beef mix into your baking dish. Spread it out flat with your spoon. This is the bottom layer.
Put Cheese on Top
- Put half of the cheese on the beef. The cheese helps the potatoes stay in place.
Add the Potatoes
- Put the frozen potatoes on top of the cheese. Cover the whole dish. Make sure it looks nice.
Bake the Meal
- Put the dish in the oven for 35 minutes. Wait until the potatoes are brown and hot.
More Cheese
- Put the rest of the cheese on top. Bake for 5 more minutes. The cheese should melt.
Let it Cool
- Take the dish out. Let it sit for 5 minutes. This makes it easier to scoop and eat.
Notes
- Make it Hot: Add some spicy peppers to the beef.
- Add Veggies: Put peas or green beans inside the mix.
- Very Crunchy: Leave it in the oven a bit longer.
- Bacon: Add bacon bits on top for a saltier taste.
- Fresh Potatoes: You can use fresh potato slices too.
