This is comfort food at its finest. Ground beef and mixed
veggies are topped with a heaping helping of mashed potatoes and melted cheddar
cheese.
Ingredients:
·
1 pound ground beef
·
1 16 ounce package frozen mixed vegetables
·
1 8 ounce package shredded cheddar cheese (2
cups)
·
¼ cup snipped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
·
Salt and ground black pepper
·
2 cups instant mashed potato flakes
·
2 tablespoons butter, melted
Preparation:
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.
2.
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.
3.
Divide beef mixture among four 16-ounce
broiler-safe dishes. Top with potatoes; sprinkle remaining cheese. Broil 3
inches from heat for 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese is melted. Drizzle with
melted butter; sprinkle with remaining parsley. Makes 4 servings.
