Mashed Potato Beef Casserole image

This recipe came out of my mother's cookbook. The smudges and splatters show that Mom used it extensively to feed our large family. The tarragon really comes through to make a flavorful main dish. Now I prepare this recipe for our four children and six grandchildren. -Helen McGeorge, Abbotsford, British Columbia

This casserole was a bit too salty for my taste. I think next time I'll reduce the amount of salt in the recipe.

This casserole was easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and it was still very flavorful. I also added some chopped carrots and celery to the mix.

I made this casserole for a potluck and it was a huge success! Everyone raved about how delicious it was. I even had people asking for the recipe.

This casserole was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning, or maybe some fresh herbs. The mashed potatoes were also a bit too runny for my liking.

I've made this casserole several times now and it's always a hit! It's so easy to make and the leftovers are even better the next day. I usually add a bit of extra cheese to the top before baking and it always comes out perfectly golden brown.

This casserole was absolutely delicious! I made it for my family last night and everyone loved it. The mashed potatoes were creamy and fluffy, and the beef was tender and flavorful. The gravy was also perfect, with just the right amount of seasoning.
