Preheat your oven to 400°F. Combine sliced potatoes, melted butter, and salt. Layer this mixture at the base and sides of a 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes until potatoes are almost tender.
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess fat. Layer beef and corn over the baked potatoes.
In a bowl, mix cream soup, milk, garlic powder, pepper, onion, and half of the shredded cheese. Pour this over the beef.
Return the casserole to the oven and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes or until heated through. Top with remaining cheese, bake for an extra 2-3 minutes, and garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
For storing leftovers, simply cover the casserole with foil and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat single servings in the microwave or reheat the whole dish in the oven.
