INGREDIENTS
5 oz Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1/4 cup chopped Yellow Onion
1/2 medium Carrot, diced
1/4 cup Green Peas
1 medium Russet Potato
1/4 cup Skim Milk
1 tsp Butter
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Add the chopped onions to the beef and sauté until translucent, then stir in diced carrot and green peas. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Simmer the mixture for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Adjust seasoning as desired.
Meanwhile, peel and cube the russet potato. Boil the potato cubes until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add skim milk and butter, then mash until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Spread the beef and vegetable mixture evenly in an oven-safe dish. Gently layer the creamy mashed potatoes over the top, smoothing with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until the topping is slightly golden and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.
