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
- 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 together until the beef is browned and the onions are tender. Drain any excess grease to keep the dish from being too oily.
- Combine sauce ingredients: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt into the cooked beef and onion mixture. Warm gently until it reaches a gentle simmer.
- Assemble casserole: Spread the beef mixture evenly in 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 evenly.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes to form the final layer.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden on top.
- Rest and serve: Let the casserole stand for a few minutes after baking to set before serving warm.
Notes
- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup for a different flavor.
- If you prefer, use homemade mashed potatoes instead of prepared ones for a fresher taste.
- To reduce fat, use lean ground beef and low-fat milk and cheese.
- Adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture can enhance the savory flavor.
- This dish pairs nicely with a simple green vegetable or salad for a complete meal.
