Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 2 2/3 cups water
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 2 cups Betty Crocker™ mashed potatoes

Topper

  • 1 can (16 oz) chili beans in sauce, undrained
  • 1 can (14 1/2 oz) salsa-styled diced tomatoes with green chiles, undrained
  • 1/2 cup shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz)
  • 2 medium green onions, sliced (2 tablespoons)

Steps

  • 1
    In 3-quart saucepan, heat water, butter and salt to boiling; remove from heat. Stir in milk and dry potatoes just until moistened. Let stand about 30 seconds or until liquid is absorbed; whip with fork.
  • 2
    In 1-quart saucepan, cook beans and tomatoes over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until hot. Spoon onto individual servings of potatoes. Sprinkle with cheese and onions.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you like, you can serve these toppers on baked instead of mashed potatoes.
  • tip 2
    Although the flavor will not be as intense, you can substitute chopped pimientos for the roasted red bell peppers in the Italian Pesto-Sour Cream Topper.
  • tip 3
    For Italian Pesto-Sour Cream Topped Potatoes, in small bowl, mix 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup basil pesto and 2 tablespoons chopped drained roasted red bell peppers. Spoon onto individual servings of potatoes; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sliced ripe olives.
