Ingredients:
1/2 (22 ounce) package frozen mashed potatoes (about 3 cups) made with 1 1/3 cups milk OR 1 package instant mashed potatoes made with water
1 pound ground beef
1 cup fresh or frozen chopped onion
1 1/2 cup frozen mixed veggies
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (12 ounce) jar beef gravy
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions:
If using frozen mashed potatoes, mix potatoes and milk in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH for 8 minutes, uncovered, stirring once. If using instant potatoes, mix according to package directions. Set potatoes aside.
Meanwhile, cook ground beef and onion in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet until meat is no longer pink. Add mixed veggies, pepper, and gravy. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes or until heated. Remove from heat.
Spoon potatoes evenly over the meat mixure, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge of the skillet. Broil 5 1/2 inches from the heat for 3 minutes or until bubbly (mine takes much longer with a gas oven). Sprinkle with cheese.
