By polledl

Ingredients

• 2 cups prepared mashed potatoes (such as Simply Potatoes)
• 3/4 pound ground sirloin
• 3/4 cup picante sauce
• 1/3 cup water 1 tablespoon ground cumin 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup (2 ounces) preshredded reduced-fat extrasharp cheddar cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare mashed potatoes according to package directions; keep warm.

Cook beef in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in picante sauce, water, cumin, sugar, salt, and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until mixture thickens (about 5 minutes).

Remove from heat. Spoon mashed potatoes over meat mixture, and sprinkle with cheese. Cover and let stand 2 minutes or until cheese melts.

Note: Prepared mashed potatoes are found in the refrigerated section of larger grocers. They only need a few minutes in the microwave to reheat.
