cheesy beef and patoto – RECIPE POINT

Ohhh yes 🧀🥩🥔 Cheesy Beef and Potato Casserole—comfort food at its finest: savory beef, tender potatoes, all smothered in melty, cheesy goodness. Here’s a simple, hearty recipe you can make in one dish.

🥩🧀 Cheesy Beef and Potato Casserole

Ingredients (serves 4–6)

1 lb (450 g) ground beef
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
1/2 cup milk or cream
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp paprika
Salt & pepper, to taste
Optional: 1/2 cup frozen peas or corn for extra veggies

Instructions

1️⃣ Prep potatoes

Boil diced potatoes in salted water until just tender, about 8–10 min. Drain and set aside.

2️⃣ Cook beef

In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned.
Add onion and garlic, cook 3–4 min until softened.
Season with salt, pepper, and paprika.

3️⃣ Combine ingredients

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl or directly in a casserole dish, combine beef mixture, potatoes, milk, butter, and half of the cheese.
Optional: stir in peas or corn.

4️⃣ Bake

Transfer to a greased baking dish if not already in one.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake 20–25 min, until cheese is melted and bubbly.

5️⃣ Serve

Let cool slightly before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley for freshness.

Pro Tips

Cheese: a mix of cheddar and mozzarella gives gooey stretch and sharp flavor.
Potatoes: you can also use thinly sliced potatoes layered instead of diced.
Make ahead: assemble and refrigerate; bake later—add a few extra minutes if chilled.
Extra flavor: a splash of Worcestershire sauce in the beef adds depth.

I can also give a “loaded, ultra-cheesy, crispy-topped beef and potato bake” version with a breadcrumb crust and double cheese—basically comfort food heaven 😏.
