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 made this recipe the other night and I did not care for it. The potoes were okay, it need some more flavor. The meat & veggies were not wonderful. It need a lot more flavor. However my husband said it was good. If I was to make this again I will definitely add a lot more spices to it.

It needed a little more seasoning, but it was so good!

I made this recipe and my kids actually ate it! They aren't really into casseroles but we bribed them with crescent rolls and they ate it. Very easy to prepare, very tasty and great for leftovers!

This was very good and easy to make. Instead of lean ground beef, I made it with ground turkey meat and it was delicious!

This was easy to make, but took a little longer than I expected with the homemade mashed potatoes on top. It was a little bland, but a little salt and pepper was enough for me to jazz it up.

Really quick and easy to make and was very good. I read some of the comments before making it, so I added a little extra broth and some worcestershire sauce to the meat. I used frozen peas and corn and fresh carrots and red bell pepper. Turned out great.
