Potato and Ground Beef Casserole.

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is soft and translucent. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add Seasonings and Liquids: Stir in the diced tomatoes, beef broth, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let this mixture simmer for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Layer the Casserole:

• In a greased baking dish, spread a layer of sliced potatoes.
• Spoon a layer of the ground beef mixture over the potatoes.
• Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of potatoes on top.

1. Top with Cheese (Optional): Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top layer if desired.
2. Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
3. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. Serve warm.

Enjoy this comforting casserole as a hearty meal that everyone will love!
