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.
