Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef (Halal)
  • 4 cups potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1 can (10 oz) cream of mushroom soup (ensure Halal)
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Butter (for greasing the dish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the meat is no longer pink. Drain the excess fat.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream (or yogurt), cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, followed by half of the cooked beef mixture, and half of the sauce. Repeat the layers.
  4. Top the final layer with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  5. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Tips for substitutions include swapping the ground beef for ground chicken. If short on time, pre-sliced potatoes like frozen hash browns can save prep minutes. Make sure to cover the dish with foil initially to prevent burning the cheese, and thinly sliced potatoes will help them cook evenly. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze wrapped tightly for 2-3 months.
