Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
- 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch (23×33 cm) baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic 2–3 minutes until translucent.
- Add ground beef. Cook, breaking it up, 5–7 minutes until browned. Season with paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Layer half the sliced potatoes in the prepared dish. Top with half the beef mixture, dollop and spread half the sour cream, then sprinkle half the cheddar.
- Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, beef, sour cream, and cheese.
- Pour beef broth evenly over the top.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake 15–20 minutes more, until potatoes are tender and cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Rest 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider using flavored beef broth.
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
- Make sure to slice the potatoes thinly for even cooking.
