Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth

Instructions
- Boil the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water for about 15 minutes or until they are very soft.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, 0.25 cup of milk, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mash until creamy.

- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Transfer the beef mixture to a 9×9-inch baking dish.
- Spread the mashed potatoes over the beef mixture and smooth it out.
- Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
