Let’s Get Cooking!
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and thinly slice your potatoes (a mandoline slicer is helpful!).
Step 2: Brown the Beef
Cook the ground beef in a large skillet 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, then half the beef, followed by half the onions and garlic. Repeat the layers.
Step 5: Top it Off!
Sprinkle with crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped pickles.
Step 6: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
Step 7: Enjoy!
Let it cool slightly before serving. Dig in!
Keto & Low-Carb Options
For a keto or low-carb version:

Tips & Tricks
- Customize toppings! Add jalapeños for spice or green onions for freshness.
- Experiment with different cheeses (Monterey Jack, pepper jack, Swiss).
