Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by peeling and cubing the Yukon Gold potatoes into bite-sized pieces and boil in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
  2. Drain the potatoes and cool them immediately in an ice bath.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet, brown the ground beef for 7-10 minutes, then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic for 5-7 minutes, then add bell pepper and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  5. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and cream of chicken soup, along with milk and sour cream, and season with thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  6. Fold the browned beef back into the sauce, followed by the cooled potatoes, and stir to coat.
  7. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted.
  8. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a golden finish.
  9. Garnish with parsley before serving.
