Slice the onions and sauté them in butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced potatoes to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.
Continue sautéing the potatoes until they are fork-tender.
In a separate pan, brown the ground beef and drain the excess fat.
Gently fold the cream of mushroom soup and ground beef into the potato mixture.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
