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.

Next time I make this, I'll make it a day ahead and reheat it. It was good the first night, but excellent the second night!

I deleted the flour, ketchup, broth and garlic and just added a jar of salsa. Which my family just loved.

Made this last night for my husband and I. It was not bad at all. My husband wasn't looking forward to it, but he liked it. We also had enough for leftovers for lunches, which is always good. I also added Worchestire sauce to the meat for some extra flavor.

I made this recipe for my husband and he loved it. I baked a layer of corn bread mix over the meat mixture and then added the mashed potato mix. It was a big hit with my family.

Lots of steps but easy to put together. My picky eaters enjoyed it. It's great for a "make ahead" day. I'll make it again, but only if I have time.

This recipe is great... If you want to try something a little different though buy a box of cornbread mix... follow the directions for it on the box... spoon it into your dish and then continue on with the recipe.

My elderly mother is very finicky when it comes to eating and eats very little. I made this receipe and she ate two large platefuls in one sitting. I also served it to some friends who liked it quite well. I found it very easy to make and enjoyed it as well.
