    • Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the potatoes.
    • Pour half of the cream sauce over the beef layer.
    • Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the sauce.
    • Repeat the layers: potatoes, beef mixture, cream sauce, and top with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake:
    • Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  6. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For extra flavor, add cooked bacon bits between the layers.
