Categories: not tried
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 1/4 pounds ground sirloin
- 1/2 cup fat-free canned beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- freshly ground pepper (to taste)
- 1 1/2 pounds Russet potatoes, peeled and cute into equal size pieces
- 3 garlic cloves, cut in half
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 2 fluid ounces egg substitute
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup thawed frozen baby peas
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 425°F.
-
Coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray. Add the onions, and sauté over medium-high heat until they wilt.
-
Add the meat and cook, separating with a wooden spoon until meat has turned brown.
-
Strain the fat and liquid from the beef and onion mixture. Return to the skillet, but you don’t have to put it back on the heat.
-
Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper to the meat. Set aside.
-
Boil the potatoes with the garlic in lightly salted water until done (should be 20-25 minutes—until they’re tender when you poke them with a fork).
-
Drain the potatoes and remove the garlic.
-
Add the milk and the egg substitute to the potatoes, and then mash them. Season with pepper and salt (if you’re using it).
-
Put the ground beef mixture in the bottom of an oven-proof casserole. Top with peas and then spread with the mashed potatoes. Coat with cooking spray (if you’d like).
-
Bake for 30 minutes until heated through and top is nicely browned.
