INGREDIENTS
4 oz Lean Ground Beef (95% lean)
1 medium Potato, Russet
1/4 cup Frozen Peas
1/4 cup Diced Carrot
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
1 tsp Butter
1/4 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
Pinch of Dried Thyme
PREPARATION
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until it's browned. Drain excess fat if necessary, then season with a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
Add the diced carrots and frozen peas to the beef and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender.
Meanwhile, peel and boil the potato until soft, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potato and mash it with low-fat milk, a teaspoon of butter, and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture in an even layer in an oven-safe dish. Top evenly with the creamy mashed potato.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm.
