Classic. Savory. Delicious.
This is our family's 'go to' recipe for whenever friends or family are coming over and we need something easy for dinner that everyone will love. The garlic powder adds a nice seasoned taste to the delicious ground beef layer and the whipped potato just tops this whole dinner off.
To make this meal even better, make up a veggie platter, fresh salad, or some buttered asparagus as a side dish. And don't forget to have a fresh loaf of bread on the table!
