Baked potato casserole with meat in the oven

Description

I slice the potatoes for the casserole into thin slices so they cook through well and the dish prepares faster. You can use chicken, beef, or pork; in this recipe, I'm using ground beef. The casserole can be served for dinner or lunch, and it's good both warm and cold.
