Ingredients

1 1/4 lbs (565 g) potatoes, peeled and chopped or use left over mashed potatoes

2 large cloves garlic, peeled and minced

3/4 cup light sour cream (or pureed 1% cottage cheese)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (light) - I like cheddar

1 lb. (450 g) extra lean ground beef

2 tbsp. cornstarch (or flour)

3 cups frozen mixed vegetables (thawed) I like peas and carrots but you can choose whatever

3/4 cup gf low sodium beef broth or bouillon

2 tbsp. gf ketchup or tomato paste

Directions

Put potatoes and garlic in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 - 20 minutes or until potatoes are very tender. 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.

Serve with a fresh garden salad. Enjoy!! :)

Makes 6 - 1 1/2 cup servings. Freezes well in individual containers for a nice lunch.
