  3. Layer thinly sliced russet potatoes at the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping slightly. Drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Add the browned ground beef evenly over the potatoes, followed by onion rings, tomatoes, and green bell peppers. Season each layer with salt and pepper.

  6. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 2 hours.
  7. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before serving.
