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
Topping
- 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 prepare it for the casserole.
- Cook beef and onions: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onions are tender, then drain any excess grease.
- Mix in sauce ingredients: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt into the cooked ground beef mixture. Bring it to a gentle simmer to combine flavors.
- Assemble casserole base: Spread the beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish, creating a solid base layer for the casserole.
- Add mashed potato layer: Carefully spoon or spread the prepared mashed potatoes over the beef mixture, covering it completely and evenly.
- Top with cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer of mashed potatoes for a cheesy finish.
- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Serve: Let the casserole stand for a few minutes after baking, then serve warm for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Use freshly mashed potatoes or leftover mashed potatoes from previous meals for convenience.
- For a lower fat version, use lean ground beef and reduced-fat cheese.
- You can substitute cream of mushroom soup with cream of celery or cream of chicken soup for flavor variation.
- Make sure to drain the cooked beef well to avoid excess grease in the casserole.
- Adding some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can enhance flavor.
