INGREDIENTS
Vegetables
- 🥔 1 ¼ pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 🧄 3 cloves garlic, halved
- 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables
Meat
- 1 pound lean ground beef
Dairy
- ¾ cup light sour cream
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
Seasoning
- 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons ketchup
Other
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

STEPS
Place cubed potatoes and garlic in a large pot with enough water to cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Stir flour into beef and drippings; stir in vegetables, beef broth, ketchup, salt, and black pepper until combined. Cook until thick.
Transfer beef mixture to an oven-proof casserole dish.
Drain potatoes; return them to the pot. Smash slightly with a potato masher; add sour cream and 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese. Mash until smooth.
Top beef mixture with mashed potatoes, spreading evenly from center to edges to form a top layer. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts and turns golden.
Cool before serving.
