Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, deviled ham, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  3. Divide the meat mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a flat patty.
  4. Place the patties in an ungreased 8x8-inch baking pan.
  5. Prepare the instant mashed potatoes according to package directions for 4 servings, but use only 1 cup of water instead of the usual amount to create a thicker consistency.
  6. Stir the creamed cottage cheese and half of the French fried onions into the prepared mashed potatoes.
  7. Spoon the potato mixture evenly over each meat patty, creating a layer on top.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining French fried onions evenly over the potato-topped patties.
  9. Bake uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through to your desired doneness and the onions are golden brown.
  10. Carefully remove each stack to a serving plate using a slotted spoon to drain excess grease. Serve immediately.
