Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ground beef (80/20)
4 medium russet potatoes, sliced
1 large sweet onion, chopped
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking dish with butter.
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion until fully cooked.
In the greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, followed by half of the cooked beef mixture and half of the shredded cheese. Repeat the layers.
In a bowl, whisk together milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Pour evenly over the layered ingredients.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil, add remaining cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before serving.
