Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 (16 oz package) frozen mixed vegetables
• 1 (8 oz package) shredded cheddar cheese (2 cups)
• 1/4 cup snipped fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
• Salt and pepper
• 2 cups instant mashed potato flakes
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat broiler. In extra large skillet brown beef over medium high heat; drain off fat. Stir in frozen vegetables. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Stir in half the cheese, half the parsley, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

Meanwhile, in large bowl combine 2 cups boiling water, potato flakes, and 1 tablespoon of the butter. Stir until smooth. Season with salt and pepper; set aside.

Divide beef mixture among four 16 ounce broiler safe dishes. Top with potatoes; sprinkle remaining cheese. Broil 3 inches from heat for 2-3 minutes, until cheese is melted. Drizzle with melted butter; sprinkle with remaining parsley.
