Best Ever Beef and Potatoes Casserole

Ingredients

• potatoes (6 large)
• vegetable oil (1 cup)
• olive oil (2 tablespoons)
• onion (1 )
• garlic (1 clove)
• ground beef (1 pound)
• condensed cream of chicken soup (2 (10.5 ounce) cans)

• salt (1 )
• ground black pepper (1 )
• panko bread crumbs (1 cup)
• shredded Irish Cheddar cheese (0.67 cup)
• unsalted butter (2 tablespoons)
• cooking spray (1 )

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Slice potatoes into medium rounds. Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Add potato rounds in batches; fry until starting to turn brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain; set aside.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef; cook and stir until browned and no longer pink, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drain grease from skillet.
4. Combine beef mixture and soup in a large bowl. Add mild Cheddar cheese; stir until combined. Season with salt and black pepper.
5. Combine panko bread crumbs, 1/3 Irish Cheddar cheese, and melted butter; set aside.
6. Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray; spread 1/2 potatoes in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 Irish Cheddar cheese; cover with 1/2 beef mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes, Irish Cheddar, and beef mixture. Top with panko mixture.
7. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
