Ground Beef Casserole with Potatoes

I thought this was a great dish. But, of course, I am a Midwest “meat and potatoes” guy. I parboiled the sliced potatoes for 10 minutes just to make sure they would be done in the casserole. I forgot to add a little salt between layers as indicated in the recipe. Next time I will, just a little.

It cooked about 1 hour 45 minutes, and honestly could have used a bit longer, but it was edible. It was okay, but I think in the future, if I'm going through the trouble, I'll just do au gratin potatoes with ham.

I bumped up the temp to 400 about 40 min in because I realized the potatoes weren’t cooking. Total cooking time was extended to 1 hr 20 min and the potatoes were just barely cooked through. Next time I’ll try 400 degrees from the start or parboil the potatoes first but it was SO YUMMY!
