Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 6 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tbsp ketchup
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 3 cups mashed potatoes (fresh or pre-made)
– 1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
Directions:
Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat, then add the diced onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent.
Add the Flavor:
Stir in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Assemble the Dish:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the cooked bacon and half of the shredded cheese over the beef mixture.
Add Mashed Potatoes:
Spread the mashed potatoes over the beef and cheese layer. Top with the remaining cheese and sprinkle with green onions if desired.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a golden-brown topping, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
