How to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- Brown the meat in a skillet with onions, garlic, and your choice of seasonings.
- Layer the casserole: Start with a layer of potatoes, followed by the cooked meat mixture, and a sprinkle of cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with a generous topping of cheese.
- Pour over the cream or milk to help cook the potatoes and keep everything moist.
- Cover and bake for about 45–60 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Remove the cover for the last 10–15 minutes to let the cheese get bubbly and golden.
- Let it rest before serving to allow the layers to set.
