How to Make Beef And Mashed Potato Casserole

  1. Brown 1.5 lbs ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Add 1 medium chopped onion, 8 oz sliced mushrooms, 1 cup diced carrots, and 1 cup diced celery to the skillet.
  3. Sprinkle 1/4 cup flour over the vegetables and stir to coat.
  4. Pour in 1 cup beef broth, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon dried tarragon, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  6. Simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
  7. Stir in 1 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce.
  8. Transfer the beef mixture to a 2-quart baking dish.
  9. Meanwhile, boil 2 lbs peeled and cubed russet potatoes until tender. Drain and mash with 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese.
  10. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the beef mixture.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 teaspoon paprika over the top.
  12. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  13. For extra browning, broil for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
