Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef (90% to 95% lean)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 jar (12 oz) mushroom or beef gravy)
  • 1 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups prepared mashed potatoes, warmed
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add ground beef and onion; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon; pour off drippings. Return beef to skillet; stir in gravy and peas and season with pepper.
  2. Spoon beef mixture into 2-quart baking dish. Top with potatoes, spreading evenly; sprinkle with cheese, if desired. Bake in 450°F oven 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly and cheese begins to brown.

    Cook's Tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.

    Cook's Tip: Any type of prepared mashed potatoes may be used in this recipe: instant, refrigerated, frozen or homemade.
