A delightful twist on the classic Shepherd's Pie, this recipe combines hearty beef, fresh vegetables, and creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a deep skillet, sauté the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return the beef mixture to the pan.
Removing excess fat makes the dish lighter and healthier.
Spread the condensed cream of mushroom soup evenly over the beef mixture.
Use a spatula to spread the soup for an even layer.
Layer the green beans over the soup.
Ensure the green beans are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the green beans, smoothing the top.
Use a fork to create a textured surface for a crispy finish.
Top with shredded cheddar cheese.
For extra flavor, mix in some Parmesan with the cheddar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Check occasionally to avoid over-browning.
Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite side dish.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
