| 1/2 | lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef |
| 1/4 | cup chopped onion |
| 1 | cup Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers™ frozen mixed vegetables |
| 1 | can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained |
| 1 | jar (12 oz) beef gravy |
| 1/4 | teaspoon dried marjoram leaves |
| 1/4 | teaspoon pepper |
| 1 | cup water |
| 2 | tablespoons butter or margarine |
| 1/2 | teaspoon garlic salt |
| 1/2 | cup milk |
| 1 1/3 | cups Betty Crocker® Potato Buds® mashed potatoes (dry) |
| 1 | tablespoon chopped fresh parsley |
| 1. | In 12-inch nonstick skillet, cook beef and onion over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; drain. |
| 2. | Stir in mixed vegetables, tomatoes, gravy, marjoram and pepper. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer uncovered 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender. |
| 3. | In 2-quart saucepan, heat water, butter and garlic salt to boiling. Remove from heat; add milk. Stir in dry potatoes and parsley. Let stand about 30 seconds or until liquid is absorbed. |
| 4. | Fluff potatoes with fork. Serve beef mixture over potatoes. |
| No change. |
|
| Oregano can be used in place of the marjoram; both are mint-family herbs from the Mediterranean mountains. |
|
| In place of the potatoes, try this thick, rich stew over biscuits, rice or pasta.
