Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

- Spread the beef mixture evenly over the potatoes.
- Pour the milk over the layers, then sprinkle the flour evenly on top.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 60–75 minutes, checking occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
- Let cool briefly before serving to allow the flavors to set.
