Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef
1 small onion diced
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon rosemary
½ teaspoon thyme
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 packet 1.9oz Beefy onion soup mix
1 cup beef broth
2 ½ cups frozen mixed vegetables
4 cups mashed potatoes prepared
2 tablespoons of melted butter

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F.
On the stove top in a large (12 inch) oven safe skillet, add the olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and ground beef. Cook until no longer pink.
Add in the tomato paste, salt, pepper, garlic powder, rosemary, and thyme. Stir to combine.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
Sprinkle in the soup mix, stir, and pour in the broth, Worcestershire sauce, and mixed veggies.
Stir to combine and simmer for 3-5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and carefully spread the mashed potatoes on top.
You can leave it smooth or use a fork to make a design on the top.
Drizzle with melted butter and bake for 20 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve.

Notes

Top the mashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese if preferred.
Use your favorite ground meat (beef, lamb, or ground turkey)
Use your favorite mix of veggies. I like the peas, carrots, corn, and green beans.
You can leave it smooth or use a fork to make a design on the top.
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, transfer the ground beef mixture to a casserole dish for baking.
