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
Topping
- 4 cups prepared mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Cook Ground 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 greasy.
- Combine with Soup Mixture: Stir in the cream of mushroom soup, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt into the cooked ground beef mixture. Heat the mixture gently until it simmers to blend flavors.
- Layer Ground Beef Mixture: Spread the seasoned ground beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish as the base layer of the casserole.
- Add Mashed Potato Topping: Carefully spoon or spread the prepared mashed potatoes over the beef layer, creating an even topping.
- Sprinkle Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes for a cheesy crust.
- Bake the Casserole: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden brown.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let stand for a few minutes before serving to allow slices to set.

- Use leftover mashed potatoes or prepared instant mashed potatoes for convenience.
- To reduce fat, use lean ground beef and low-fat milk or soup varieties.
