Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 0.5 cup Beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Place them in a large pot, cover with cold water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 2

While the potatoes cook, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, heavy cream, minced garlic (from 2 cloves, roasted or raw), salt, and pepper to taste. Mash until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 7

In a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread the beef mixture evenly at the bottom.

Step 8

Spread the garlic mashed potatoes over the beef layer, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the potato layer.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, before serving.
