Instructions

TIPFor a lighter option, use less cheese and skip the cream
Step 1Sauté onions in olive oil, then add the beef and seasonings
Step 2Pour in marinara and cook for 3 minutes. Add a splash of cream and let it all simmer so the flavors come together
Step 3In a casserole dish, layer beef sauce, potatoes, and cheese. Repeat
Step 4Finish with a ridiculous amount of cheese on top
Step 5Bake at 380°F for 30 minutes covered with foil, then 20 minutes uncovered
Step 6Let it rest for 10 minutes. I know it is hard
