1/2 cup milk
An half cup of sour cream

Spoon half of the cooked ground beef over the potatoes.
Scoop half of the creamy sauce over the potatoes and steak.
Using the leftover steak, potatoes, and sauce, repeat the layers.

Bake for an hour, covered with aluminum foil in the preheated oven.

To make slicing simpler, let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
