Preparation
Step 1
Prepare mashed potatoes. Can used left-over mashed potatoes, or can use instant potatoes.
Step 2
Drain canned vegetables.
Step 3
Brown ground meat in a large skillet until no longer pink. Drain.
Step 4
Add canned vegetables, cream of mushroom soup (don’t add water), 1/2 packet of onion soup mix, and spices to skillet with meat.
Step 5
Stir mixture until cream of mushroom soup coats ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Transfer mixture to a glass or metal baking dish. Top with other 1/2 packet of onion soup mix, and seasonings to taste. Distribute mashed potatoes on top. Rough up with a fork so that there are peaks that will brown nicely. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
