Can I use homemade mashed potatoes?

Absolutely. Homemade mashed potatoes add great flavor and a better texture than instant.

How can I prevent a soggy bottom?

Drain excess fat from the cooked beef. Use a baking dish that conducts heat well. Avoid adding too much liquid to the filling.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a skillet, brown the ground beef with onions and mushrooms. Drain excess fat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the beef mixture with beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, and frozen vegetables. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread the mixture in a baking dish.
Top with mashed potatoes, spreading them evenly over the beef mixture.
If desired, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until heated through and the top is golden brown.
Serve warm.

Notes

For perfect results, avoid skipping the fat drain step. Use hot mashed potatoes so they form a smooth top. If your oven runs hot, check the bake at 25 minutes to prevent over-browning.
