Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s heating, peel and thinly slice your potatoes.
Step 2: Brown the Beef
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain any excess fat.
Step 3: Sauté the Aromatics
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent.
Step 4: Layer the Deliciousness
In a greased baking dish, layer half the potatoes, season with salt and pepper. Top with half the beef, then half the onions and garlic. Repeat layers.
Step 5: Top it Off!
Evenly sprinkle with crumbled bacon, then shredded cheddar cheese. Finish with diced tomatoes and chopped pickles.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Bake for about 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
Step 7: Serve & Enjoy!
Let it cool slightly before serving. Dig in!
Keto/Low-Carb Adaptation
For a keto or low-carb version:
- Swap potatoes for cauliflower florets (steam or boil until tender).
- Use sugar-free ketchup (or omit) and dill pickles (or omit).
- Opt for lean ground beef or turkey.
Tips & Tricks
- Customize toppings! Jalapenos, green onions – get creative!
- Experiment with different cheeses (Monterey Jack, pepper jack, Swiss).
- Make ahead! Prep the layers, refrigerate, and adjust baking time as needed.
