A delightful twist on the classic cheeseburger, combined with creamy mashed potatoes for a comforting and satisfying dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.
Peel and dice the potatoes, then boil them in a pot of salted water until tender.
Cutting the potatoes into smaller pieces helps them cook faster.
Drain the potatoes and mash them with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
For extra creaminess, use a hand mixer to whip the potatoes.
In a skillet, sauté the diced onion until translucent, then add the ground beef and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet for a lighter dish.
In a baking dish, layer half of the mashed potatoes, followed by the beef mixture, then half of the cheese. Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese on top.
Press each layer gently to ensure even distribution.
Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, about 20 minutes.
For a golden crust, broil the dish for the last 2 minutes.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the layers to set, making it easier to serve.
