- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1 cup chopped yellow onion
- 1 (3/8 ounce) beef bouillon cube
- 1 1/2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (14-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 1/3 cup beef broth

- 1 tablespoon W orcestershire Sauce
- 1 (32-ounce) package refrigerated mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded C heddar cheese

Steps
- Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Heat oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground chuck; cook, stirring to crumble beef into small pieces, until browned, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat, spoon drippings into a small bowl. Let drippings cool, then discard.
- Add onion to skillet; cook over medium, stirring often, until onions have softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in bouillon, sugar, mustard, and pepper until well combined. Stir in crushed tomatoes, ketchup, broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. Bring to a simmer over medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened and glossy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Spoon mashed potatoes over beef mixture in skillet and gently spread into an even layer to cover beef completely.
- Sprinkle evenly with cheeses.
- Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are heated through and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Increase oven temperature to broil; do not remove skillet. Broil until cheese is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes; garnish with chives, and serve.
