Easy Ground Beef & Potato Hobo Casserole (Oven-Baked)

We added green beans, corn, and some cream of mushroom soup. A cross between this recipe and tater tot casserole. We layered thin slices of potatoes, meat mixture, potatoes, and meat mixture again. It was really good and easy to make. Could have cooked 45 minutes in my oven, plus the step to add cheese and cook 10-15 more. We used Italian seasoning because we were out of thyme. We also cut the recipe in half for the two of us and will have leftovers.
