But hate cleaning all of those pots and pans . Well howard has a dish youll love hes in the mister food test kitchen. With a recipe that only uses one pan most of the time when it comes to making dinner, were looking for ways to make it fast, cheap and easy so we dont have to wash pots and pans all night. If that sounds good to you, then i know youre going to love our onepot dish that were making today. And since its so fillyouup tasty, your gang will love it too. We start off by sauting a good amount of ground beef along with a chopped onion until its browned. This takes just a few minutes. To give this its rich flavor, we add an envelope of onion soup mix, a jar of beef gravy, and a few spices. Now rather than cutting up all sorts of veggies, we simply stir in a bag of frozen mixed vegetables. After spooning this into a casserole dish, we top it off with some mashed potatoes. And these can be homemade, but for this, its a lot easier and just as tasty if you use a package of refrigerated ones. All thats left to do is sprinkle it with some paprika and bake it off. We can even make this a day or two in advance, if we want. What we end up with is a rich, comforting casserole that has everything you like. All in one pan. If that sounds good to you just go online and get the recipe for, satisfying shepherds pie, so you can have an up todate twist, on an old english classic. Im howard in the mr.
