For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to the beef mixture. To make the mashed potatoes even richer, substitute heavy cream for the milk. If you don't have frozen peas, you can use other vegetables like carrots or corn. For a vegetarian option, substitute the ground beef with lentils or a plant-based ground.

01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (5 minutes)

StepPlace potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until fork-tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain thoroughly. (20 minutes)
03
StepIn a large bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add ½ cup Cheddar cheese, milk, scallion, and butter; stir until well combined and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (5 minutes)
04
StepHeat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, flour, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 7-10 minutes. Drain off any excess grease. (10 minutes)
05
StepStir in French onion soup and red wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. (5 minutes)

07
StepTransfer beef mixture to a 9x13 inch glass casserole dish; spread mashed potatoes evenly over the top using a rubber spatula. Top with remaining ½ cup Cheddar cheese; sprinkle with additional black pepper. (5 minutes)
