Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat for 7–10 minutes, breaking it apart until no longer pink.
  3. Add diced onions, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 5 minutes until tender.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine cream of mushroom soup and sour cream, stir until smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
  5. Layer half of the sliced russet potatoes in the greased baking dish, sprinkling with salt and pepper.
  6. Spread the cooked beef-vegetable mixture evenly over the potatoes, followed by the creamy mixture.
  7. Add the remaining potato slices on top, season with salt and pepper, then top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the potatoes are tender and cheese is golden.
  9. Sprinkle French fried onions over the top and bake for an additional 5 minutes until crispy.
  10. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes, then garnish with parsley or green onions before serving.
