This is a dish I've been making for years, and even though I seem to not make it that often, its definitely a family favorite. Especially my husbands. (Its meat and potatoes, duh). For those of you who don't know my husband and I were actually vegetarian for about a year and a half not to long ago and I still made this dish! Our favorite meat substitute was Trader Joes meatless ground beef. Just an FYI ;)
Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef
1 bag of frozen mixed vegetables
1 onion
2 potatoes
About a cup of cheddar cheese give or take
Brown Gravy Packet
Heaping spoonful of sour cream
2 tablespoons butter
Splash or two of milk
Salt & Pepper to taste
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large pan cook your ground beef and diced onion until cooked through. Drain fat.
In a large pot or saucepan cook your peeled and largely diced potatoes, I never time this, I just generally stick a fork in them from time to time to check. Probably about 10-15 minutes.
Add your frozen mixed vegetables to your beef, season with salt and pepper. **I usually add a few cloves of minced garlic in at this point but I didn't have any this night*
Start to make your gravy, I usually always use the packets you can find in the spice aisle, but you can use your favorite brand of gravy.
Once your potatoes are done add them to a large bowl with your butter, milk, sour cream and season with salt and pepper. (I always usually also sprinkle in some garlic powder and cayenne pepper to my mashed potatoes but use whatever YOU like)
And mash! Sad day in our household. My hand mixer broke! Womp Womp Wooomp. But look at me doing it all old fashioned like ;) it works just as well!
Add your gravy to your meat mixture.
Spoon mixture into a 13x9 baking dish and spread evenly.
Spread your mashed potatoes on top!
Then, add your cheese.
Add to your preheated oven, and cook uncovered for 20 minutes.
Let cool and serve! Enjoy :)
