For extra flavor, try adding a clove of minced garlic to the onions as they cook. A sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese over the mashed potatoes before baking adds a delicious cheesy crust. If you're short on time, use pre-made mashed potatoes, but be sure to choose a high-quality brand or doctor them up with butter, milk, and seasonings. Serve with a fresh green salad and crusty bread for a complete and satisfying meal.

Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. (5 minutes)
03
Step

Add the ground beef to the skillet, season generously with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned and cooked through. Drain off any excess grease. (10 minutes)
04

Spread the cooked ground beef evenly across the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Pour the cream-style corn over the ground beef, creating a smooth, even layer. (5 minutes)

Gently spread the mashed potatoes over the creamed corn, covering it completely. You can create decorative swirls with a fork for an elegant touch. (5 minutes)
