I changed up this recipe by mixing in chopped green peppers, chopped onions and minced garlic while cooking the beef. I chose to omit the ketchup and used 1/2 can of tomato sauce instead. The kids loved it!

Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/3 cup ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 8 ounces frozen mixed vegetables (such as carrots, peas, and corn), thawed
- 1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded Cheddar (optional)
- 1 16-ounce package refrigerated or frozen and thawed mashed potatoes
Preparation
- Heat oven to 400° F.
Place the beef in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat until no trace of pink remains, about 5 minutes. Spoon off and discard any fat. Stir in the ketchup and Worcestershire. Add the vegetables and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Spoon the beef mixture into a baking dish.
Mix the cheese (if using) with the potatoes in a medium bowl. Spread the potatoes over the beef and bake until heated through, 10 minutes. Divide among individual plates.
