INSTRUCTIONS:
Get the mashed potatoes ready by:
Peel and cube the potatoes and boil them in salted water until they are soft, 15 to 20 minutes.
After draining, mash the potatoes until smooth and creamy by adding butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Put aside.
Put the Casserole Together:
Set the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
Start by putting half of the mashed potatoes on the bottom of a baking dish that has been buttered.
Cover with a layer of the cooked mixture of beef.
Cover the beef layer with the leftover mashed potatoes.
Put the Cheese Layer in Place:
Add some shredded mozzarella (and Parmesan, if using) to the top of the dish.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is brown and bubbling, in a preheated oven.
Serve:
Before serving, allow the dish to cool for a few minutes. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy, and delicious dinner with family and friends!
