Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 onion chopped, medium, brown
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • salt pinch
  • ground black pepper pinch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup marsala wine See Note 1, sweet
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 4.7 oz potato See Note 2, for scalloped potatoes
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 cups water boiling
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. In a large skillet over medium high heat add the oil and sauté the onion for 3 minutes. Add the ground beef, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Break up the ground beef with a spoon and brown for several minutes.
  2. Deglaze the pan with the marsala wine and reduce to half. Sprinkle the flour on top of meat and stir. Cook for 2 minutes and then add beef broth. Stir as sauce will thicken. Cook for 2 minutes.
  3. Pour meat mixture into a 9x9" casserole dish (or 2 smaller individual ones as pictured) coated with cooking spray and add the cheddar cheese on top.
  4. In a small bowl whisk together the milk, water, butter and sauce mix from scalloped potato box.
  5. Sprinkle the scalloped potatoes on top of cheddar cheese and meat and evenly pour the milk mixture over all. Bake for 20 minutes uncovered or until top is golden brown and edges crispy. Allow to rest 10 minutes (sauce will thicken upon standing) and top with parsley for garnish (optional) and serve.

Notes

  •  
  • Marsala wine substitute: It's possible to make 1/4 cup of substitute by mixing 1/4 cup of dry white wine with 1 teaspoon of brandy. If you have sherry and sweet vermouth,  mix 1/8 a cup of each to make 1/4 cup of Marsala substitute. Also due to their similarities, both Madeira and port can be used as a substitute.
  • If not using boxed Scalloped Potatoes: slice thin 1 large or 2 medium potatoes. In a large saucepan combine the sliced potatoes, 1 tablespoon of butter and enough milk to cover. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stir and cook 8 minutes. Layer the simmered potatoes on top of the cheddar cheese and meat mixture. Combine 1 tablespoon of melted butter, 1/3 cup of  milk and seasoning of choice in lieu of packaged spice packet, add some more cheese if you like. Pour over all. Bake for 20 minutes uncovered or until top is golden brown and edges crispy.
