OVEN DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease an 11 x 7 inch baking pan.
Brown ground beef and onion; drain; discard grease.
Mix soup, garlic powder, nutmeg, salt, pepper, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce and cream in a bowl.
Layer half of the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the soup mixture over the potatoes. Top with half of the ground beef mixture. Sprinkle on half of the cheese. Repeat for second layer.
Cover with aluminum foil; bake 1 hour; check for potato doneness in center of casserole. It may need to be cooked an additional 30 minutes if potatoes are not soft after 1 hour.
Remove from oven; let casserole stand for about 10 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley. Cut and serve.
SLOW COOKER DIRECTIONS:
Brown ground beef and onions as in the above recipe; drain and discard grease. Layer as in original recipe, but in a large slow cooker that has been lined with a slow cooker liner for easy clean up.
Cover with the lid. (No need to cover with foil.)
Cook 3-5 hours on High or 6-8 hours on Low. Always check for doneness at the minimum time listed.
4-6 servings.
