Hamburger And Mashed Potato Casserole Recipe

Hamburger And Mashed Potato Casserole

From gingerlea 17 years ago

A comfort dish that you can fix spicy or mild depending on how you feel. I like it for a very mild dish.

Very easy to double, triple, etc. Can be made ahead of time and freezes well wrapped in plastic wrap, then foil and put in a plastic freezer bag.
Brown meat and onion until meat is cooked.
Drain
Add tomato sauce, salt and pepper, celery salt and celery seed. Plus any other spice or herb you desire.
Spoon above into a shallow, oiled or sprayed, baking dish.
Spoon and smooth on mashed potatoes.
Liberally put cheese on top.
Bake at 325 degrees until cheese is melted and mixture is bubbly.

This is an interesting variation to the traditional European Cottage Pie (often referred to as Shepherd's Pie here in the States). As this recipe suggests, there are a multitude of possible variations, but the foundation of meat, vegetable, and starch rings strong and true. Of course, (almost) anything with cheese makes it taste better too, which with the world of cheeses available that's just one more way to alter the flavor.

I make something similar to this, but it's cooked ground beef on the bottom of the casserole, then green bean layer, tomato soup layer, cheese slices on top of that, then top it with mashed potatoes, called an economy dish. Very good.
