Dolly Parton’s 5-Ingredient Casserole

Ingredients:
One pound of 90% or 85% lean ground beef
Three big russet potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices
Two sweet onions, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices

One can of diced tomatoes, ideally roasted over a fire
Two medium-sized sliced green bell peppers
To taste, add salt and pepper. Additional ingredients are optional. Half a teaspoon of garlic powder, one teaspoon of crushed red pepper, one tablespoon of sliced butter, and pepperoncini

Instructions:

1. Spray nonstick cooking spray on a 9 x 13-inch baking or casserole dish and preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
