A comforting and easy-to-make casserole featuring seasoned ground beef, creamy mashed potatoes, and melted cheddar cheese.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
Peel and boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
Cut the potatoes into smaller pieces to reduce cooking time.
Mash the cooked potatoes with milk until smooth and creamy.
Warm the milk slightly before adding for a smoother mash.
In a skillet, cook the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet for a leaner dish.
Mix in the frozen vegetables, salt, and pepper with the beef mixture.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed for consistent flavor.
Spread the beef mixture evenly in a baking dish.
Press the mixture down slightly for a firm base.
Spread the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture, smoothing the top.
Use a spatula for an even layer.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes.
Add extra cheese for a golden, bubbly topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving to set the layers.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Cheesy Beef and Potato Bake.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
