Method

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the meat is nicely browned, then carefully drain off any excess fat.

   

2. Stir the reduced-sodium cream of mushroom soup and water into the skillet with the beef and onion mixture, stirring until smooth and well combined.

   

3. Wash and slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds, then arrange them in an even layer at the bottom of a baking dish.

   

4. Spread the warm meat and soup mixture evenly over the potato layer. Cover and bake for 45 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the casserole is bubbly and golden.
