This make-ahead dish uses prepared ingredients to cut down on the original preparation time and then it just needs to bake in the oven when ready to use. Can be frozen with or without the potatoes and then thawed before baking or can be refrigerated and baked the next day. Read more I say 10 servings for average appetites but really, with my teenagers it works out to about 6 or 8 at the most. See less
Ingredients
- 3 lbs extra lean ground beef shopping list
- 1 large onion, chopped shopping list
- 3-4 tbsp prepared crushed garlic shopping list
- 3-4 tbsp dried thyme shopping list
- salt and fresh ground pepper to taste shopping list
- 1/2 cup Bovril beef concentrate or equivalent shopping list
- 2 lbs frozen mixed vegetables shopping list
- 12-16 cups instant mashed potatoes, prepared shopping list
How to make it
- Saute onion and garlic in a bit of oil in a large skillet until starting to brown.
- Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink.
- Add thyme, salt and pepper while beef is cooking.
- Add frozen vegetables and beef concentrate and stir well to mix concentrate in thoroughly.
- Put into baking dish or dishes and top with mashed potatoes. If you use more dishes, spreading the meat mixture thinner you will need more potatoes. I use 2 9x13 deep pans and it takes 16 cups of potatoes. When I use one large pan it only takes 12 cups.
- Bake at 350 F for one hour or until heated through.
- Serve hot.
