Preparing the Meat Filling

Once the onion is slightly browned and softened add the ground beef into the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to stir-fry the meat. Sprinkle some parsley into the cooking pot and also add the rosemary to it. Add in some salt and pepper. The meat will take almost 6-8 minutes to turn brown.

Use a masher or a fork to mash the potatoes same as Mashed Cheese Potato Balls and then give a good mix of everything together. Bring the Parmesan cheese and combine it with your potatoes. Mix well and put aside.
Assembling the Baking Pan
As you have already preheated the oven, now you have to prepare the baking pan. Bring the cooked meat mixture and spread it at the bottom of the baking pan. Bring the mashed potatoes and make an even layer on the top of the meat layer.
You can also line the baking pan with the baking sheet to avoid the sticking of food to the bottom of the pan. Put the baking pan in the oven and then bake it for half an hour. Serve while hot after air cooling.
