Stages of cooking
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
-
Place potatoes into a large saucepan with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Cook until potatoes are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, then mash.
-
While potatoes are cooking, crumble beef into a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned. Drain off grease, then stir in condensed soup until well combined.
-
Transfer beef mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish and cover with cheese. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over the top. Dot with butter.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes.
