Cheesy Ground Beef and Mashed Potato Casserole

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cheesy Ground Beef and Mashed Potato Casserole.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light spray with vegetable cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks.

3. Step 3

   Now, let’s get cooking! In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add your ground beef and let it brown for about 5 to 7 minutes.

4. Step 4

   As it cooks, break it apart with a spatula, letting those delicious aromas fill your kitchen.

5. Step 5

   Once the beef is nicely browned, toss in the diced yellow onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, celery, and half of the chopped green onion.

6. Step 6

   Sauté everything together for about 5 minutes, or until the veggies are tender and vibrant.

7. Step 7

   Next, stir in the minced garlic, tomato sauce, half of the chopped parsley, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, meat tenderizer, salt, and pepper.

8. Step 8

   Cook this fragrant mixture for another minute, allowing those flavors to meld beautifully.

9. Step 9

   Add in the Worcestershire sauce and browning sauce, then drain any excess fat from the skillet and take it off the heat.

10. Step 10

    Now, let’s build our delicious dish! Arrange the refrigerated biscuits in the bottom of your prepared baking dish, spreading them out to cover the base.

11. Step 11

    It’s okay if they overlap a bit; we want a hearty foundation.

12. Step 12

    Next, evenly spoon the savory ground beef mixture over the biscuits, followed by the drained diced tomatoes and a generous helping of frozen mixed vegetables.

13. Step 13

    Finally, spread the creamy mashed potatoes on top, creating a comforting layer.

14. Step 14

    To finish it off, sprinkle the remaining chopped green onions, shredded Cheddar cheese, and the rest of the parsley over the mashed potatoes for a pop of color and flavor.

15. Step 15

    Cover your masterpiece with aluminum foil and slide it into the preheated oven.

16. Step 16

    Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, then remove the foil and let it bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

17. Step 17

    The anticipation will be worth it! Serve this warm, hearty dish hot from the oven, and enjoy the smiles it brings to your table.
