Description
A savory and satisfying layered casserole of seasoned ground beef, thinly sliced potatoes, golden caramelized onions, and gooey Swiss cheese, all baked to perfection in flavorful beef broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 4 large potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and caramelize for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
- Brown ground beef in another pan, seasoning with garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Drain excess fat.
- In a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, layer half of the potatoes, followed by half of the onions and ground beef. Repeat the layers.
