Recipe Instructions:
-
Fry the Beef: Begin by heating a nonstick pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the ground beef, and cook until it’s browned and fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat and set the beef aside.
-
Prepare the Potatoes: While the beef is cooking, take a medium-sized mixing bowl and place the instant mashed potatoes inside. Follow the instructions on the box to prepare them accordingly. Once ready, add a tablespoon of butter and the milk to the mashed potatoes, and whip them until they are creamy and smooth.
-
Layering: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a medium-sized baking dish and start layering the ingredients. Begin with a layer of the whipped potatoes, spreading them out evenly to form a base about an inch thick. Next, add all of the cooked ground beef, spreading it out evenly over the potato layer. After the beef, sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese evenly across the dish. For the next layer, use the remaining whipped potatoes, spreading them out carefully to cover the beef and cheese layer. Finally, sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top, ensuring even coverage.
-
Bake: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and you start to see parts of the potatoes turning a golden brown color.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the Cheeseburger Mashed Potato Pie from the oven and let it rest for about five minutes to allow the flavors to meld together and the dish to set slightly. After resting, slice it into portions and serve it warm.
Enjoy your delicious Cheeseburger Mashed Potato Pie, a hearty and satisfying dish that’s perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a quick weeknight meal or a potluck gathering with friends and family! 🍔🥔🧀
