Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the beef mixture while simmering.
If using homemade mashed potatoes, ensure they are well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and a touch of butter or cream for richness.
Feel free to substitute the Cheddar cheese with your favorite cheese blend, such as Monterey Jack or a Colby-Jack mix.
To prevent the cheese from browning too quickly, you can tent the casserole dish with foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
