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.

The whole family loved it. I didn't have cottage cheese so I used sour cream.

This recipe took a lot effort, dirtied a lot of dishes and the end result smelled foul and tasted awful.

I made this meal twice once with ground beef and the next with ground chicken and both came out very nice. This recpie was great and EASY!! I used sour cream with the potatoes and didn't use the cheese on top. My family loved it!

I made this tonight. It was not easy, and tasted so bland. Not a whole lot of flavor at all. In my family of 5 only 1 finished her meal and that was my 10 month old and she only ate the potatoes. I was so disappointed in this meal. I bought a food processor just for this meal. What a waste!!!!

My family really loved this recipe. I slightly altered it by using low fat sour cream instead of the cottage cheese, which made the potatoes extra creamy and flavorful. I also used a veggie mixture of carrots, corn, green beans, and lima beans instead of brocoli and carrots. I would definitely recommend this dish to others.

I made this for supper tonight for my husband and me and cut the recipe down to two servings which I put into individual casseroles. I used ground turkey and did not sprinkle extra cheese on top to reduce the fat content. It came out moist, seasoned well, and the potatoes were creamy.
