Colorful mixed vegetables jazz up a homey supper that's an updated version of a classic shepherd’s pie.

Prep: 35 min

1 lb. extra-lean ground beef
1/2 cup Progresso® Plain Bread Crumbs
1/3 cup ketchup
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup Green Giant® Frozen Mixed Vegetables
1 3/4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 cup milk
2 cups mashed potato flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, if desired


1. Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, ketchup and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt; mix well. Press mixture in bottom and up sides of ungreased 9-inch pie pan. Bake at 375°F. for 10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, combine frozen mixed vegetables, water, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, garlic powder and onion powder; mix well. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat. With fork, stir in milk and potato flakes until potatoes are of desired consistency.

3. Remove beef crust from oven; pour off any drippings. Spoon potato mixture evenly into partially baked crust. Return to oven; bake an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until beef crust is thoroughly cooked, and potatoes and vegetables are thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with chopped chives.
