Equipment

9x13 baking dish
large saute pan
small saute pan
Medium mixing bowl
Whisk
Cutting board
Knife
Aluminum foil

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 yellow onion finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
8 ounces mushrooms sliced
1 tablespoon butter
4 pounds potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
10.5 ounces condensed mushroom soup
12 ounces evaporated milk
½ cup milk
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
In a large saute pan, place the ground beef and onion and cook over medium heat. Add the garlic powder and paprika and cook until the beef is browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat and set the meat aside.
In a small saute pan, cook the mushrooms in the butter over medium heat until lightly browned.
To assemble, start by laying the potatoes on the bottom of the pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Cover the potatoes with about a quarter of the beef mixture, then add about a quarter of the mushrooms, followed by a layer of cheddar cheese.
Repeat this 3 more times.
In a medium sized bowl, mix the mushroom soup, evaporated milk and milk. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the mixture over the top of the casserole and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the top is brown and bubbly.
Remove and let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving. Top with fresh chives.
