Note

For a lighter version, you can substitute skim milk for the water in the mashed potatoes and use reduced-fat sour cream.

If you prefer a crispier topping, sprinkle the cheese and paprika under the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to prevent burning.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to refresh the gravy.

Feel free to add other vegetables like diced carrots or peas to the meat mixture for extra nutrition and color.
