Cook the chopped onion and ground beef in a large pan over medium heat until the onion is soft and the meat is browned. Drain any excess fat.
Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter. Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes on the bottom of the dish.
Spread the cooked ground beef and onions evenly over the potatoes.
In a small bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cream, salt, and pepper. Pour half of this mixture over the potatoes and meat.
Sprinkle 1/4 cup of crumbled cheddar cheese on top of the mixture.
Add the remaining potatoes as the next layer, then pour the rest of the soup mixture over the top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are soft and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
Changes and Hints
Add garlic powder or paprika to the meat for extra flavor.
You can substitute cream of chicken soup for the cream of mushroom if preferred.
For added vegetables, try layering green beans or peas between the potatoes and meat.
For a crispier topping, sprinkle breadcrumbs mixed with melted butter during the final bake.
