see next page<\/p>\n
Preheat the Oven:
\nPreheat your oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/p>\n
Prepare the Potatoes:
\nThinly slice the potatoes (about 1\/8 inch thick). If desired, you can parboil them for a few minutes to soften them slightly, or just layer them raw in the casserole for a bit of a firmer texture.<\/p>\n
Cook the Ground Beef:
\nIn a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened (about 3 minutes). Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir in the corn, if using.<\/p>\n
Make the Sauce:
\nIn the same skillet, add the can of cream of mushroom soup and the beef broth. Stir until combined and heated through. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.<\/p>\n
Creamy cheese dip
\nAssemble the Casserole:
\nIn a greased 9\u00d713-inch baking dish, layer the sliced potatoes. Spread half of the beef mixture over the potatoes. Repeat with another layer of potatoes and the remaining beef mixture. Pour the soup and broth mixture evenly over the casserole.<\/p>\n
Top with Cheese:
\nSprinkle both shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the casserole.<\/p>\n
Bake:
\nCover with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.<\/p>\n
Garnish and Serve:
\nOnce done, let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.<\/p>\n
