Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the Ground Beef:
   • In a skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess grease.
   • Add diced onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until onions are soft.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup and milk until smooth.
4. Assemble the Casserole:
   • Layer the bottom of the prepared baking dish with half of the sliced potatoes.
   • Spread half of the cooked ground beef over the potatoes, followed by half of the frozen mixed vegetables.
   • Pour half of the soup mixture over the layer. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, ground beef, vegetables, and soup mixture.
   • Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
5. Bake the Casserole:
   • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
   • Remove the foil, brush the top with melted butter, and sprinkle with paprika (if using). Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is bubbly and golden.
6. Serve:
   • Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with a simple salad or dinner rolls for a complete meal.
