Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing for about 2-3 minutes until softened.

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and paprika, mixing well to combine the flavors.

In a 9×13 inch casserole dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly across the bottom.

Spoon half of the beef mixture over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.

Add the remaining sliced potatoes on top of the beef, followed by the rest of the beef mixture.

In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth. Pour this mixture evenly over the casserole.

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Once baked, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
