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.

I read reviews before making this dish and took the advice of some of the people. I used fresh carrots, celery, onion, and garlic instead of frozen veggies, I also added, worcestershire sauce, but no ketchup. I used 1/2 lb each hamburg and sausage. I added one pack each of mushroom and beef gravy. It turned out great and it had a lot of flavor. We will definitely be having this often!

I have made this several time and my family loves it. I put garlic and onions in with the ground beef and browned them all together. I also added Worcestershire sauce with the ketchup.

This was very tasty and easy to prepare. Very filling and had a lot of flavor with the garlic mashed potatoes. Would not guess that it is a "lite" recipe.

This is so good. I have made it several times. The only thing I have done differently is to omit the frozen vegetables and use fresh celery, onion and carrot that I brown with the meat. My picky husband loves this.

I used ground turkey instead of the beef, and added chopped onion, garlic powder, seasoned salt and pepper along with Worcestershire sauce after I browned the meat. I also added seasoned salt and pepper to the potato mixture. It was really tasty and inexpensive to make.

I brown my beef with onion and 1 clove minced garlic. I add salt and pepper and Also add 1 TBSP. Worchestershire sauce to the meat. After it's browned, I add beef gravy, boil, and reduce and simmer until the potatoes are done. I just think it adds the right seasoning to this dish.

Yummy!! Everybody at my table loved this one. Soooo easy to make and I no longer have to buy that "packet mix" with all the salt & those other junk ingredients I don't like.PS: I used those "ready mashed tators" to save time.
