Ingredients

  • 1 medium onion - diced
  • 2 cloves garlic - minced
  • ¼ pound ground beef
  • ¼ pound ground pork
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 15 ounces (1 can) chili beans
  • 8.5 ounces (1 can) green peas (optional)
  • ½ cup red bell pepper (optional)
  • 4 medium potatoes (see Tips below)
  • ½ cup milk or more
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil potatoes, mash and season to taste with milk and butter and salt.
  2. In a pan or skillet, saute garlic and onion in oil. Add the ground meat and stir until all of the meat is cooked, add soy sauce and pepper and let cook until brown. Add chili beans, peas and bell pepper and let it cook for 2-3 minutes more.
  3. In a deep baking dish, spread cooked meat and vegetable evenly. Then spread the mashed potatoes over the meat and sprinkle cheese on top.
  4. Place in oven under 400°F/200°C until cheese is bubbly or light brown.

Notes

  • To save time, you can also use instant mashed potato and prepare it as per direction in the box. But I usually use milk instead of just hot water by warming milk in a bowl in the microwave, then adding the powdered mashed potato, butter and some salt to taste.You may also use other beans like white beans or chickpeas instead of chili beans.
