Kraft Kitchens Tips

Substitute

Leave aluminum pans behind! New Chinet Bakeware® baking pans help simplify meal planning. Just prepare and serve this comfort-food classic recipe in an 8x8-inch Chinet Bakeware® pan. Any leftovers? Just cool in the pan, then snap on the lid and refrigerate up to 2 days. When ready to serve, remove the lid and reheat them in the microwave. Chinet Bakeware® baking pans are versatile so you can take your dish from oven to refrigerator to microwave all in the same pan.

Makeover - How We Did It

We took a classic recipe and gave it a makeover by replacing the butter in the mashed potatoes with both BREAKSTONE'S Reduced Fat or KNUDSEN Light Sour Cream and KRAFT 2% Milk Shredded Cheddar for great taste and a creamy texture. In addition, we used extra-lean ground beef instead of regular ground beef. These small changes resulted in a savings of 90 calories and 15g of fat per serving.

Substitute

Substitute 1 cup BREAKSTONE'S or KNUDSEN Low Fat Cottage Cheese for the sour cream. Blend the cottage cheese in a blender until smooth before using as directed.

Made this for the first time last night and it is very good. Lots of flavor! I've made other casserole dishes that my family wasn't totally in love with because they lacked some taste but this is full of flavor!

I made this with gound chicken instead of beef. I also added fat-free chreamcheese because I was afraid of the topping being dry(and I was right to do so). Turned out great!

The meat and veggies had a very bland taste but the garlic potatoes and cheese topping saved the meal. Would make just the garlic potatoes as a side dish for a different meal next time.

My family loved this recipe! I made a few changes...instead of ground beef I used ground turkey and chicken broth instead of beef broth. Once served on a plate, I drizzled some chipotle sauce over it. My husband absolutely loved it! If you like it spicy I definitely recommend the chipotle. It's delicious!!!
