Gather the ingredients.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Meanwhile, place diced potatoes in a medium saucepan; cover with water and place over high heat. Bring to a boil and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes; drain.

7

Mash potatoes until smooth, then add milk and butter; whip until fluffy. Season with salt and pepper.

8

Spoon ground beef mixture into a 9x13-inch baking dish; spread mashed potatoes on top and sprinkle with grated Cheddar cheese.

Bake in preheated oven until top is browned and cheese is bubbly, about 25 minutes.
