Ingredients
  

Ground Beef
  • 2 pounds ground beef provides protein and a savory base
  • 1 medium onion, diced adds sweetness and depth to the flavor
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced brings a wonderful aroma and enhances the overall taste
  • 4 cups frozen hash browns, thawed provides a hearty texture
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese essential for gooey, melty goodness
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup adds creaminess and a rich flavor
  • 1 cup milk helps to create a smooth consistency
  • 1 teaspoon salt enhances all the flavors
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper adds a subtle kick
  • 1 teaspoon paprika gives a hint of smokiness and color
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder boosts the garlic flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder complements the fresh onion
  • 1 cup crushed cornflakes, optional adds a delightful crunch
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter, optional enhances the flavor of the cornflakes

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat over medium heat. Add the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 7-10.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with the thawed hash browns, cream of mushroom soup, and milk. Add the salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix everything together until well combined.
  4. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. If using crushed cornflakes, mix them with melted butter and sprinkle over the cheese layer.
  5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let cool for 5 before serving.
