Recipe View 15 mins Bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 minutes, or until the mashed potato topping is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.

For a richer flavor, try using beef broth instead of milk in the mashed potatoes.
Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan) on top of the mashed potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking for a golden and cheesy crust.
Feel free to substitute ground turkey or lamb for the ground beef, depending on your preference.
If you don't have instant mashed potatoes, you can use homemade mashed potatoes instead. Adjust baking time accordingly.
For a vegetarian option, replace the ground beef with lentils or a vegetarian ground meat substitute.
