BEST EVER BEEF AND POTATOES CASSEROLE



Best Ever Beef and Potatoes Casserole image

This is a ground beef casserole with potatoes I threw together one night and everyone loved it. Casseroles are usually so bland, but the Dubliner® cheese really gives this casserole a big punch of flavor.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Casserole Recipes     Vegetable

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large potatoes, peeled
1 cup vegetable oil for frying
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pound ground beef
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1 ½ cups shredded mild Cheddar cheese
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup panko bread crumbs
⅔ cup shredded Irish Cheddar cheese (such as Dubliner®)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 serving cooking spray

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Slice potatoes into medium rounds.
  • Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Fry potato rounds until starting to turn brown, about 5 minutes per batch. Remove from oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook onion and garlic in the hot oil until onion turns translucent, about 5 minutes. Add ground beef and cook and stir until browned and no pink remains, 5 to 7 minutes more. Drain the pan.
  • Combine beef mixture and cream of chicken soup in a large bowl. Add mild Cheddar cheese and stir until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine panko bread crumbs with 1/3 of the Irish Cheddar cheese and melted butter.
  • Spray a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray and spread 1/2 of the potatoes in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the Irish Cheddar cheese. Cover with 1/2 of the beef mixture. Repeat with remaining potatoes, Irish Cheddar, and beef mixture. Top with panko mixture.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until browned and bubbly, about 30 minutes.

GWEN'S OLD-FASHIONED POTATO-BEEF CASSEROLE



Gwen's Old-Fashioned Potato-Beef Casserole image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 pounds red potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick
Salt
Vegetable oil, to coat pan
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Black pepper
2 cups milk
2 cups grated sharp Cheddar
1/2 cup unseasoned dry breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with water to cover by 1 inch. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook for 15 minutes, or until tender. Potatoes cook quickly. Test often for tenderness and don't overcook them. Alternatively, cook the potatoes in a pressure cooker for 5 minutes, releasing the pressure immediately to prevent overcooking. Drain the potatoes and arrange them in a 6- by 9- by 2-inch casserole dish.
  • In a large skillet, add a little oil to coat the pan. Combine the beef and onion and cook together over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion softened, about 10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to make a roux. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and the flour turns light brown in color. Gradually whisk in the milk and continue to stir while cooking over medium heat. When the mixture thickens, season with salt and pepper, then stir in the cheese and browned beef and onions.
  • Pour the ground beef mixture over the potatoes and bake the casserole for 20 minutes, until heated through and bubbling. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs on top of the casserole and bake until the crumbs are toasted, about 5 minutes longer.

FAMILY MEALS: EASY BEEF STEW WITH SWEET POTATO TOPPING



Family meals: Easy beef stew with sweet potato topping image

Perfect for the whole family, this freezable pie makes a great meal for toddlers and teens alike and has plenty of hidden veg

Provided by Caroline Hire - Food writer

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h45m

Yield Serves a family of 4 - 6 or makes 6-8 toddler meals

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely diced (about 130g)
1-2 sticks celery, finely diced (about 130g)
2 fat cloves garlic, crushed
400-500g braising steak
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 low-salt beef stock cube
2 tbsp tomato purée
1 x 25g pack parsley, stalks and leaves finely chopped separately
1kg sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
knob of butter
handful grated cheddar

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based pan. Add the onions and cook for 2 mins, then add the carrot and celery and cook until softened. Add a little water if the mixture sticks.
  • Add the braising steak and cook until browned, then stir in the garlic and cinnamon and cook for a further 1 - 2 mins until the aromas are released.
  • Add the stock cube to 500ml boiling water and stir into the meat, along with the tomato purée and parsley stalks. Bring to the boil and simmer covered for 1 hour, then take off the lid and simmer for another hour or until the meat is very tender. Stir in the chopped parsley leaves.
  • Transfer the stew into a medium-sized ceramic dish (that would be big enough for four adults), or into 6 - 8 large ramekins for make-ahead toddler portions.
  • Meanwhile, steam or boil the sweet potatoes until tender. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. Drain the potatoes well and mash with the butter. Spoon on top of the meat, sprinkle with the cheese and cook on the top shelf for around 20 minutes until golden and bubbling.
  • Alternatively, cover and freeze the pie or mini pies for another time. Defrost thoroughly before cooking - you can do this by leaving it in the fridge overnight if you like. Preheat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6 and cook for around 30 - 35 mins or until golden, bubbling and hot throughout.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. For this recipe, a chuck roast or a top sirloin steak are both good options.
  • Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to develop flavor and create a nice crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet when browning the beef. If the beef is too crowded, it will not brown properly.
  • Once the beef is browned, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
  • In the same skillet, sauté the onions and garlic until they are softened.
  • Add the beef broth, condensed tomato soup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Return the beef to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and cover. Simmer for 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.
  • While the beef is cooking, prepare the potato topping. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, sour cream, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Spread the potato topping over the beef in the skillet. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes, or until the potato topping is golden brown.
  • Serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Potato-topped beef casserole is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef, and it can also be made with ground beef or turkey. The potato topping is creamy and flavorful, and it perfectly complements the tender beef. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion dinner.
