Ingredients
Scale
Beef Mixture
- 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
Topping
- 4 cups prepared mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Cook Beef and Onions: 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 off any excess grease to keep the dish from being too oily.
- Mix Sauce: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt into the ground beef mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer to combine flavors and heat through.
- Assemble Casserole: Spread the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
- Add Mashed Potatoes: Carefully spoon or spread the prepared mashed potatoes over the ground beef layer, covering it completely for a smooth topping.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes to add a delicious melted crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Let it stand for a few minutes before serving to set.
Notes
- Use prepared mashed potatoes or make your own fresh for best flavor and texture.
- For a creamier sauce, add a splash more milk if the mixture seems too thick.
- You can substitute ground turkey for a leaner option if desired.
- Add chopped mushrooms or other vegetables to the beef mixture for extra nutrition.
- Make ahead by assembling and refrigerating the casserole, then bake when ready to serve.
