• 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
• 4 medium russet potatoes, thinly sliced (about 1/8-inch thick)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (10.5 oz) can condensed cheddar cheese soup
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with onion and garlic until browned; drain excess fat and season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the cheddar cheese soup, sour cream, and milk until smooth.
4. Layer half of the potato slices in the prepared dish, top with half of the beef mixture, and drizzle with half of the sauce. Repeat the layers, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar on top.
5. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly. Let rest 5 minutes, then garnish with parsley and serve.
