How To Make The Casserole
Start by adding the beef and minced onion to a large skillet. Brown the meat and drain the grease. Next, add the ranch seasoning, soup mixture, and 1-1/2 cups of shredded cheese and mix well.
Slice the potatoes (I used a mandolin) and line the bottom of the casserole dish with about half of the potatoes. Add half of the ground beef. Now add the other half of the potatoes and top with the remainder of the ground beef. Pour the milk over the meat.
Sprinkle the remainder of the cheese on top. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 1-1/2 hours. Remove the foil and bake for another 15-20 minutes.

Storage and Reheating Instructions
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. To reheat, place some in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for two to three minutes or until the meat and potatoes are heated through.
