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.

Great easy dinner that even my picky 7 year old will eat! I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef, and used instant mashed potatoes to quicken the prep time.

I used canned mixed veggies & it went over very well, but next time I will use frozen. Also used cottage cheese instead of sour cream, only because that's what I had on hand. Delicious!!

I liked the recipe, the only thing I changed was the sour cream. I used low fat cream cheese, and it tasted great. I would recommend this recipe to everyone.

My husband, son and I loved this updated version as I am always looking to reduce fat and calories. While browning the meat I added a little chopped shallot that I had and it gave the recipe a little sweet flavor - very good! I will definitely be making this recipe again!

When I brought this dish over to my boyfriend's house he sang its (my) praises. We both really liked this comfort dish. I did however add seasoning to the meat and veggies without which I think the dish would have been subpar.
