Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef or lamb

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, cook ground meat over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add onion and garlic; sauté 3–4 minutes until soft.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mixed vegetables, salt, and pepper. Cook 5 minutes until heated through.
  5. Transfer meat mixture to a baking dish. Spread mashed potatoes on top, smoothing with a spatula. Dot with butter if desired.

  • Sprinkle a little shredded cheese on top before baking for extra indulgence.
  • Use leftover mashed potatoes—it actually tastes even better!
