Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and bubbly.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture.
Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese for the topping. Gruyere or Parmesan would also be delicious.
If you have leftover cooked vegetables, such as peas, carrots, or corn, you can add them to the meat mixture for extra nutrition and flavor.
For a smoother mashed potato topping, use a potato ricer or food mill.
If the cheese is browning too quickly, you can tent the dish with aluminum foil during the last few minutes of baking.
