I am going one step further and adding a can of Campbell's Beefy Mushroom to the hamburger. Just add a tiny bit of water to rinse the can. It makes a wonderful gravy for the potatoes.

10/19/2010 09:23:48 AM Report AbuseThis was delicious! I used 95% lean ground beef, added diced onion and garlic to the meat mixture. Then for the veggies just threw in random leftover bags of frozen veges (green beans, corn, etc...). Used a Idahoan brand mashed tater mix (2 c water, 1 c mix per directions) and it was DELICIOUS! This has quickly become a favorite that I'll be making quite often! I could definitely picture adding mushrooms, tomato sauce, etc... for variety! Love it!
