GWEN'S OLD-FASHIONED POTATO-BEEF CASSEROLE
Steps:
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with water to cover by 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender. Potatoes cook quickly. Test often for tenderness and don't overcook them. Alternatively, cook the potatoes in a pressure cooker for 5 minutes, releasing the pressure immediately to prevent overcooking. Drain the potatoes and arrange them in a 6- by 9- by 2-inch casserole dish.
- In a large skillet, add a little oil to coat the pan. Combine the beef and onion and cook together over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion softened, about 10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the cheese and browned beef and onions.
- Pour the ground beef mixture over the potatoes and bake the casserole for 20 minutes, until heated through and bubbling. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the casserole and bake until the crumbs are toasted, about 5 minutes longer.

A quick and economical crowd pleaser!

Nice for busy cooks who like easy-to-reheat leftovers that taste better the next day!

Spread mashed potatoes over the top, and sprinkle with remaining green onions, Cheddar cheese, and remaining parsley. Cover with foil.

MASHED POTATO CASSEROLE
This casserole may upset some mashed potato purists, but take heart: one bite and they'll be won over. The genius of this recipe, besides its utter deliciousness, is that it can be made the day before, or even two. Cook the potatoes, assemble the casserole, wrap tightly and store it in the refrigerator. When dinnertime comes, dust it with the cheese, butter and bread crumbs and bake the whole thing off. (And for everything you need to know to make perfect potatoes, visit our potato guide.)

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients, such as grass-fed beef and Yukon Gold potatoes.
- Be sure to season the beef well with salt and pepper before browning. This will help to develop a rich flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the beef. This will prevent the beef from cooking evenly.
- Cook the beef until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make the beef tough.
- Use a good quality cheese for the mashed potatoes. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will work well.
- Be sure to mash the potatoes until they are smooth and creamy. Lumpy potatoes will not make a good casserole.
- Don't overmix the casserole. Just combine the ingredients until they are well mixed.
- Bake the casserole until it is golden brown and bubbly. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Let the casserole stand for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
Beef and mashed potato casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is perfect for a family meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious and satisfying casserole that everyone will love.
