Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
While the potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, minced garlic (from 2 cloves, roasted or raw), salt, and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the beef mixture evenly at the bottom.
Spread the garlic mashed potatoes over the beef layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potato layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
