Brothy, richly flavored French onion soup meets shepherd's pie in this comfort food mashup that couldn't be easier. Ground beef and Progresso™ beef flavored broth create a deeply savory base for this meal, so there's no need to spend hours stewing meat and making broth. Betty Crocker™ roasted garlic mashed potatoes make for a fluffy and cheesy topping that's a perfect replacement for the cheese toast of French onion soup. So next time you need a cozy weeknight meal full of flavor and low on fuss, you know what's on the menu.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Cleaning out the pan after browning the beef helps cut down on cleanup after dinner, and don't fret about the caramelized onions sticking to your pan after you've washed it. When you add the broth, the liquid will help you scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan and incorporate their flavor into the finished dish.
  • tip 2
    Using the microwave directions for the potatoes cuts down on prep time and saves a pan, too.
