Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 1 tablespoon ketchup
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups prepared instant mashed potatoes
• 3/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

1. Cook and stir beef and onion in a skillet over medium-high heat until beef is browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes; drain and discard grease.
2. Reduce heat to low. Stir mushroom soup, corn, ketchup, and pepper into beef mixture; cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Divide beef mixture into four 4-inch round baking pans; spread prepared mashed potatoes over beef mixture.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.
4. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
5. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese evenly over pies. Place pies on a baking sheet.
6. Broil until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
