Ghostly Shepherd's Pie

Cut: Ground Beef
Preparation Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 45 Minutes

Main Ingredients:

 1 pound lean (at least 80%) ground beef
 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped (1/2 cup)
 2-1/2 cups Green Giant frozen mixed vegetables
 1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes with Italian herbs, undrained
 1 (12-ounce) jar beef gravy
 1-3/4 cups water
 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
 1/2 cup milk
 2-1/4 cups Betty Crocker Potato Buds mashed potatoes (dry)
 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
 1 large egg, slightly beaten

Directions:
  1. Heat oven to 375F. Spray 12-inch skillet with cooking spray. Add beef and onion; cook over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thoroughly cooked; drain.
  2. Set 12 peas (from frozen vegetables) aside for garnish. Add remaining frozen vegetables, tomatoes and gravy to beef mixture. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are crisp-tender.
  3. Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, heat water, butter and garlic powder to boiling. Remove from heat; add milk. Stir in dry potatoes and cheese. Add egg; blend well.
  4. Spoon beef mixture into ungreased 8-inch square (2-quart) or oval (2 1/2-quart) glass baking dish. With large spoon, make 6 mounds of potato mixture on top of beef mixture to resemble ghosts. Place 2 reserved peas on each mound to resemble eyes.
  5. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until potatoes are set and mixture is thoroughly heated. Makes 6 servings.
