Posted: 27 Jul 2018, 06:26
1 medium brown onion chopped
1 tbsp olive oil
pinch of kosher salt
pinch of ground black pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tbsp flour
1/2 cup sweet marsala wine
1/2 cup beef broth
1/2 cup cheddar cheese shredded
1 4.7 oz box of scalloped potatoes
1/3 cup milk
2 cups boiling water
1 tbsp butter
parsley for garnish chopped
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. 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. 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. In a small bowl whisk together the milk, water, butter and sauce mix from scalloped potato box. 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.
