Ingredients:
1 lb. minced meat
1 onion cut into cubes
2 minced garlic cloves
1 can (14 ounces) diced, dried tomatoes
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
4 cups mashed potatoes (made from 2 pounds of potatoes)

Directions:
-Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

-Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the minced meat. Fry the onion until it becomes transparent and fragrant.
-Add the diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, dried oregano, dried basil, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
-Meanwhile, prepare the mashed potatoes using your preferred method. You can boil potatoes until tender, then mash them with butter, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
-Transfer the ground beef mixture to a greased 9″ x 13″ baking dish, spreading it evenly.
-Spoon mashed potatoes over beef mixture, spreading to coat entire surface.
-Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the mashed potatoes.
-Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and the skillet is heated through.
-Once cooked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
