Instructions

Preheat oven to 350℉ and lightly spray a 9 X 13 baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, crumble and cook the ground beef for about 6 to 7 minutes, then drain excess grease.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soups, sour cream, milk, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add 1 ½ cups (about half) of the shredded cheese, the diced potatoes, and the cooked ground beef to the mixture. Stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Top the casserole with the remaining shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered for 45-55 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it set for 5-10 minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy with hot sauce if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding cooked onions or bell peppers to the ground beef.
Make it ahead of time and refrigerate overnight. Just bake it when ready to serve.
You can substitute the colby jack cheese with cheddar for a sharper taste.
