In a large skillet on medium heat cook the ground chuck, just before it begins to turn brown add the garlic, onion and bell pepper. Cook the mix until the onions are clear.

Add the meat and vegetable mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the potatoes, sour cream, soup, and cheeses, reserving 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese for the top of the casserole. Mix well.

Stir in the salt, pepper, cayenne, basil and parsley.

Spray a 9 X 13 baking dish with cooking oil.

Pour the casserole mix into the baking dish and bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes.

Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Cover the casserole and let set at room temperature for 20 minutes.
