Ingredients

• ¼ cup water
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ⅛ cup milk
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed French onion soup
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place potatoes into 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.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Mash potatoes and add 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese, milk, green onion, and butter. Stir until mixed well.

Step 5

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet with flour and pepper until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in French onion soup and water.

Step 6

Warm frozen peas in a small, microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir peas into the beef and soup mixture.

Step 7

Pour the meat and soup mixture into the bottom of a glass casserole dish. Spread potatoes over the top using a rubber spatula. Top with remaining Cheddar cheese and sprinkle with more pepper.
