Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish to prepare for the casserole.
- Cook 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, then drain any excess grease.

- Assemble Casserole: Spread the ground beef mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
- Add Mashed Potatoes: Carefully spoon or spread the prepared mashed potatoes over the ground beef layer, creating an even topping.
- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.
- Bake: Bake the casserole for 30 minutes, or until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden on top.
- Rest and Serve: Let the casserole stand for a few minutes before serving to allow it to set.
Notes
- This casserole can be made ahead and refrigerated before baking to save time on busy days.
- For a lighter version, use low-fat cream of mushroom soup and reduced-fat cheese.
- Mashed potatoes can be homemade or store-bought depending on convenience.
- Season the beef mixture to taste; adding Worcestershire sauce can enhance the flavor.
- Ensure the excess grease is drained well to avoid a greasy casserole.
