1 pound lean ground beef or venison
3 c. thinly sliced potatoes (about 5 potatoes)
1 teaspoon each of any of these: garlic powder, paprika, or go more savoury with rosemary (optional)
1 1/2 c. cream of mushroom soup (or use leftover), or 1 can of cream of mushroom soup (not gluten-free)
1/4 c. milk or cream
1/2 c. stock (any kind)
1 1/2 c. shredded cheese

How to make Meat and Potato Casserole
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Also, ready an 11 x 7-inch glass baking dish. Lightly grease and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the onions and ground meat in a medium frying pan until done. As it cooks, add the seasonings and pepper. When done, drain the grease.
Step 3: Place the soup, stock, milk, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well until combined.
Step 4: Into the prepared baking dish, layer half of the potatoes, then pour some of the sauce on top and sprinkle with half of the meat and cheese. Do another layer with the remaining potatoes, soup, meat, then cheese.
Step 5: Tent the baking dish with lightly greased foil, then place in the preheated oven and bake for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
