Creating delicious Ground Beef and Potatoes Casserole is a straightforward process. Simply follow these steps for a successful dish:

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking.
2. Cook Ground Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Onions and Garlic: Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, around 3-5 minutes.
4. Season: Add salt, pepper, and any optional spices, mixing well to combine.
5. Prepare Potatoes: In a greased baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
6. Layer Meat Mixture: Spread the cooked ground beef mixture evenly over the first layer of potatoes.
7. Add Remaining Potatoes: Place the remaining sliced potatoes on top of the beef layer, seasoning again with salt and pepper.
8. Mix Cream Sauce: In a bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup with beef broth. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered casserole.
9. Cover and Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 40 minutes.
10. Add Cheese: After 40 minutes, remove the foil, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top, and return to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Cool and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
