Ingredients
For the casserole:
- 1 pound (450 g) ground beef
- 4 cups frozen or fresh diced potatoes
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus extra for topping)
- 1 cup milk (or cream for richer flavor)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

For topping:
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ cup shredded cheese
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Cook the Ground Beef
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef.
- Cook until browned, breaking it into small pieces with a spatula.
- Drain excess fat, then add the chopped onion and garlic.
- Sauté for 3–4 minutes until onions are translucent and fragrant.
- Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried thyme or Italian seasoning.
