Preparation

Step 1

Brown the meat in a large skillet (I used a 10" cast iron skillet). Remove to drain on paper towel.

Cook onions in the fat from the meat until they begin to soften, then add the potatoes. Cook until browned.

Place the potatoes in a 9-inch pie pan and spread out to cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with the cheese, then the meat.

Beat the eggs with the milk. Add salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the meat, cheese, and potatoes. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. To avoid thermal shock, remove the casserole from the refrigerator at least 15-20 minutes ahead of time. Bake covered for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for another 40-45 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes before serving.
