Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

Mash potatoes. Add 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, milk, green onion, and butter; stir until well combined.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, flour, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in French onion soup and water.

Place frozen peas in a small, microwave-safe bowl; microwave for 1 minute. Stir peas into beef mixture.

Transfer beef mixture to a glass casserole dish; spread potatoes over top using a rubber spatula. Top with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and sprinkle with more pepper.
