# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and the onions are softened, about 7 minutes. Drain the excess fat.

Sprinkle onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the beef mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly.
04 -
Add cream of mushroom soup, cheddar cheese soup, and drained sliced potatoes to the skillet. Mix until evenly incorporated.
05 -
Transfer the mixture to a 2-litre baking dish and level the top. Sprinkle grated cheddar cheese evenly over the surface.
06 -
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20–30 minutes, until the centre is heated through and the cheese has fully melted.
07 -
Remove from oven, let rest 5 minutes, and serve warm.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Substitute fresh thinly sliced and parboiled potatoes for canned potatoes to enhance texture.
02 -
For variety, layer in vegetables such as green beans, peas, or corn.
03 -
The casserole may be assembled ahead and refrigerated; add 10–15 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from cold.
04 -
Try different cheeses such as Colby Jack or mozzarella for alternative flavor profiles.
