Man's Country Casserole

“He’s a meat and potatoes kind of guy”

“Homeopathic” doctors say that you should never combine steak with high starch carbohydrates such as potatoes. Let's just ignore that, we don't need that kind of negativity in our lives! In fact “meat & potatoes” has come to mean the most important part or essence of the matter. In our case, the matter is dinner! Now slave is not saying that to refuse steak & potatoes makes you a heretic, just saying I didn't climb to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian!

What a casserole: use left-over beef, potatoes, & onions, throw in some cheese how much more masculine a dinner can you get?

Ingredients

1 T. olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 Tbs mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 C. cooked beef, cut
1 (10 oz.) can cream of onion soup
1 C. sour cream
1¼ C. milk
Salt and pepper to taste
4-6 potatoes, peeled and chopped
1½ C. cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Do your cutting: scrub and slice the potatoes thinly.

Chop the onions and garlic. Cut the left-over beef into thin bite sized pieces.

Spray a casserole.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, heat oil. Add the onions and cook for about 8 minutes. Add the garlic and mustard. Stir as that cooks for about 2 minutes.
Stir in the pieces of meat and let the flavors blend and heat. About 4 minutes.

While that cooks:
In a large bowl add in soup, sour cream, milk, salt and pepper; whisk until well combined.

In the sprayed baking dish, layer the potatoes on the bottom. Next spoon about half of the meat – onion mixture. Spoon half the soup mix over that and repeat with another layer of potatoes, meat and soup.
