INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef
1 cup Assorted Mixed Vegetables
1 small White Potato
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
Non-stick Cooking Spray
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly coat a medium baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a light spray of non-stick cooking spray and then add the lean ground beef. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and nearly cooked through, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks.
Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet with the beef and stir for 2-3 minutes so they begin to soften. Transfer the beef and vegetable mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Wash the potato and pierce it with a fork a few times. Microwave or bake the potato until tender (if using microwave, about 5-7 minutes on high). Once done, scoop out the potato flesh into a bowl.
Mash the potato flesh together with the low-fat cottage cheese until a creamy consistency forms. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Spread the creamy potato mixture evenly over the beef and vegetable layer in the baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the topping is warmed through and slightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, and serve immediately.
