🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: frozen hash browns

Sweet potatoes offer more nutrients, while frozen hash browns can be more cost-effective.

Preheat your oven to 375°F.

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it into little pieces. Drain any excess grease once browned.

Chop the potatoes into thin slices, about a quarter inch thick.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth.

In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer the ingredients: start with a layer of potatoes, then a layer of ground beef, sprinkle chopped onions on top, and pour some of the soup mixture over it. Repeat these layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of potatoes on top.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 1 hour.

After 1 hour, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Bake for another 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
