Ingredients for Beef And Tater Bake

  • 1.5 lbs ground beef
  • Soft Breadcrumbs
  • Egg
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • Ketchup
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Pepper
  • Mashed Potatoes

How to Make Beef And Tater Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the 1.5 lbs ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced) to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef mixture with 3 lbs potatoes (peeled and cubed), 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  7. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is lightly browned.
  8. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
