Ingredients

  • 1 pound Laura’s 92% Lean Ground Beef or 96% Lean Ground Round
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green pepper and onion, undrained
  • 1 (1-pound) package frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
  • 1/2 cup fat-free, low-salt beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
  • 1 1/2 pounds baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/3 cup 2% reduced-fat milk

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook beef, onion and garlic in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until beef is browned; drain. Stir in tomatoes, vegetables, broth, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Spoon beef mixture into a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish coated with cooking spray.
2. Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes or until very tender. Drain well and return potato to pan; mash well. Add milk, remaining salt and pepper, mixing until smooth. Spread mashed potatoes over meat mixture and bake for 20 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
3. Preheat broiler. Broil casserole 5 minutes or until potatoes are browned.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.
