Ingredients
•
4 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
•
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
•
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
1 pound ground beef
•
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1 cup water
•
1 (3/4 ounce) packet dry brown gravy mix

1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
2
Mix together hash brown potatoes, oil, and black pepper in a large bowl until well combined; press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and set aside.
3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef, garlic powder, and onion powder in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
4
Stir water and gravy mix into beef; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover the skillet, and simmer until water evaporates, about 5 minutes. Fold in 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Spoon beef mixture onto hash brown crust.
5
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and continue baking until cheese is lightly browned, about 5 more minutes.
