Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. 1. Sauté Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once heated, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
   2. Brown Ground Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet with the onions and garlic. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is thoroughly browned. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
2. 1. Combine in Slow Cooker: Transfer the cooked beef and onion mixture to a slow cooker. Add the condensed cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, black pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine all ingredients in the slow cooker.
   2. Layer Potatoes: Begin arranging a layer of the thinly sliced potatoes over the beef mixture in the slow cooker. Continue layering, alternating between the beef mixture and potatoes, until all the potatoes and beef mixture are used, ending with a layer of potatoes if possible.
   3. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 6-7 hours, or until the potatoes are completely tender. Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your slow cooker.

1. Add Cheese: In the last 30 minutes of cooking, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the casserole. Cover again and continue to cook until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
2. Serve: Serve hot. If desired, garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
