  • 1/2 cup beef broth

  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream For lower fat, swap with half-and-half

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9 x 13 baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and rosemary.
  3. Drain any excess grease from the beef mixture and set aside.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together the cream-of-mushroom soup, beef broth, and heavy cream until smooth.
Layering and Baking
  1. Arrange half of the potato slices in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.
  2. Pour one-third of the soup mixture over the potatoes.
  3. Sprinkle half of the cooked beef mixture over the soup layer.
  4. Add another layer of potatoes and pour another one-third of the soup mixture over these.
  5. Add the remaining meat mixture and drizzle with the rest of the soup mixture.
  6. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top, cover tightly with foil, and bake for about 90 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  7. In the last 5 minutes of baking, remove the foil, add the remaining cheese on top, and return to the oven to melt and brown slightly.
Serving and Storage
  1. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  2. For storage, cover and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. Reheat single portions in the microwave or oven.
