Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 4 cups, prepared (homemade or store-bought) mashed potatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 cup, thawed frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional garnish) parsley or green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce and frozen mixed vegetables. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 5

If using homemade mashed potatoes, warm them in a medium saucepan and stir in butter and milk until creamy. If using store-bought mashed potatoes, heat them according to package instructions and stir in butter and milk if desired.

Step 6

Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared casserole dish as the bottom layer.

Step 7

Carefully spread the mashed potatoes over the meat mixture, smoothing it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mashed potato layer.

Step 9

Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the casserole is heated through.

Step 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley or green onions on top for garnish before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot, and enjoy your hearty Hamburger Mashed Potato Casserole!
