To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients per serving:

To start, preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat and set aside.

In a greased baking dish, layer the sliced potatoes and cooked ground beef. Pour the sauce over the top and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
