Prep Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Servings: Not specified

Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1/2 onion, diced
• 8 ounces tomato sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 cup corn kernels
• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 5 slices American cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it’s ready to embrace the flavors we’re about to assemble.

2. Brown Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, let the symphony of flavors begin by browning the ground beef and diced onions until they dance in a beautiful harmony of caramelization. Once done, drain any excess grease to ensure our casserole is as light and flavorful as can be.

3. Add Tomato Sauce and Seasonings: Now, let’s elevate the richness by stirring in the tomato sauce, minced garlic, and the aromatic dried oregano. Allow the ingredients to meld together, creating a tantalizing sauce that will be the heart of our casserole.

4. Layering in the Casserole Dish: Prepare a 2-quart casserole dish, the canvas for our culinary masterpiece. Carefully transfer the beef and onion mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure every bite is filled with savory goodness.

5. Adding the Corn: Sprinkle the sweet corn kernels atop the savory beef layer, adding a burst of freshness and texture that complements the hearty flavors of the dish.

6. Spread Mashed Potatoes: Next comes the comforting layer of creamy mashed potatoes, spreading them gently over the bed of corn, creating a cozy blanket that will envelop our casserole in warmth and comfort.

7. Layering the Cheese: It’s time to crown our creation with the irresistible allure of American cheese slices, laying them delicately over the fluffy mashed potatoes in a single, glorious layer.

8. Bake to Perfection: Slide the casserole dish into the awaiting embrace of the preheated oven, where it will bake and meld into a harmonious symphony of flavors. Let it bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese achieves its golden crown of perfection, melting and bubbling in anticipation of the feast to come.
