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.

this was a good, quick winter meal. Adding the cheese on the top added a zing to the recipe.

I loved this recipe, it's easy to make. I sprayed the pan ,and put a layer of potatoes first, then I layer the beef and veggie in the middle, then topped it with potatoes. I will make it again and again

Easy to make. My husband hates casseroles, but he really dug into this and loved it. He even asked me if we could have it again some time! Next time I will use a little bit bigger casserole dish, as it boiled over in the oven.

I love this recipe. Instead of using beef broth, I used mushroom gravy. A few moore calories but really improves the taste!

I have made this twice in two weeks my family really liked it ALOT! The second time I made it I didn't have the right veggies so I used the Italian blend of frozen veggies and we like to use low fat buttery flavored instant mashed potatoes. Very Yummy!
