  7. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes, onions, beef, and soup mixture.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 50–60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  9. Remove foil, top with shredded cheddar, and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve warm!

Notes

💡 Tip: For extra creamy texture, add 1/4 cup sour cream to the soup mixture. You can also swap cheddar for Colby Jack or pepper jack for a little kick!
