🥘 Hearty 4-Ingredient “Poor Man’s” Beef Bake
🛒 Ingredients
500 g ground beef
4–5 medium potatoes (thinly sliced)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar works great)
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Cook the beef
In a pan over medium heat, brown the ground beef.
Drain excess fat if needed.
Layer the dish
Lightly grease a baking dish.
Add a layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom.
Spread half of the cooked beef on top.
Spoon some cream of mushroom soup over it.
Repeat layers (potatoes → beef → soup).
Top it off
Spread remaining soup on top.
Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly.
Bake
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove foil and bake another 15–20 minutes until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden.
✅ Tips
Slice potatoes thin so they cook evenly.
Add salt, pepper, or garlic powder for extra flavor.
You can swap in onions or carrots if you want to stretch it further.
🍽️ Serving
Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. It pairs great with a simple salad or bread.
