Cheesy Potato and Ground Beef Casserole

This casserole is so easy and such a hearty meal.  I make my cheesy potatoes often, but this time I kicked it up a notch by adding some lean ground beef!  Yummy

Cheesy Potato and Ground Beef Casserole

6 to 8 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 lb. lean ground beef
1/2 medium onion, diced
3" block of Velveeta cheese
1 cup shredded cheese
1 Tbsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. oregano
1/4 cup evaporated milk

Peel and thinly slice potatoes.  Spray the bottom of a baking pan with cooking spray.  Layer the potatoes in the pan.

In a skillet, brown the ground beef with the diced onion, salt, pepper and oregano.  Drain and add to top of the potatoes.

Melt Velveeta cheese in a pan with the evaporated milk.  If it is too thick, you can add a little more milk. It should be pouring consistency, but not too thin.  Once cheese has melted, pour over top of the potatoes/ground beef.  

Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 45 minutes to an hour.  Top with an additional cup of shredded cheese during the last 15 minutes of baking.  Potatoes should be fork tender and cheese should be bubbly on top.

Enjoy!
