Drain and return to saucepan with sour cream (or cottage cheese). Mash to desired consistency. Stir in half of the cheddar cheese.
Preheat the oven to 375. Brown the meat in a large skillet. Stir in the cornstarch (or flour) and cook for 1 minute. Add the vegetables, broth and ketchup and continue cooking for 5 minutes.
Spoon the meat mixture into an 8 inch square baking dish. Cover with the mashed potatoes. Bake for 18 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for an additional 2 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Very good. I didn't find it so easy since it required a lot of steps and prep . I added an onion and sautéed with the meat, i threw in some red, green and yellow bell peppers. Hubby says when he saw it on the table he thought "yuck" but really liked it. I will make again but with a thicker gravy. - 5/1/18

I made this last night and hubby actually liked it! I did not have any sour cream, so I did puree some cottage cheese. I also used the Yukon Gold potatoes. For the veggies, I used a Steamfresh pack mixture of corn, peas, carrots, and asparagus. I sprinkled paprika on the meat and then on potatoes. - 7/2/12

Great recipe, loved it. Have made it more than once.
Beans are a great veggie to include. Also, I find it good to mix some tomato paste in the top (potatoes, sour cream etc) rather than with the meat. And if you can afford the calories, some extra sour cream in the mix tastes great. - 2/16/11
