Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1 (10.5 oz) can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- Salt to taste
Toppings
- 4 cups prepared mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Cook Beef and Onion: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is tender. Drain any excess grease to keep the dish from being too oily.
- Combine Ingredients: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt into the ground beef mixture. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer to blend the flavors.
- Layer Meat Mixture: Spread the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating an even base layer.
- Add Mashed Potatoes: Carefully spoon or spread the prepared mashed potatoes over the ground beef layer, covering it completely.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes to add a flavorful, melty topping.
- Bake: Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Rest and Serve: Let the dish stand for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set and cool slightly for best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use prepared mashed potatoes from scratch or store-bought for convenience.
- Drain the cooked beef well to avoid excess grease in the casserole.
- For a twist, try mixing in some chopped mushrooms or bell peppers with the beef and onions.
- Cheddar cheese can be substituted with mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a different flavor profile.
- This dish pairs well with a simple green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
