Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp canola oil

- For the Topping:
- 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-1 1/2-inch pieces
- 1/2 cup fat-free milk
- 1 tbsp light butter
Preparation:
Tip: If sauce seems too watery for your liking, combine 1 tsp of cornstarch into 1/8 cup of water and stir into beef mixture.
While sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of water to boil. Add potatoes, reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain water. Add milk and light butter. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Season if you like.
Pour sauce into an 11-inch by 7-inch baking dish and allow to cool slightly. Top with potato. Optional: sprinkle with 1/3 cup reduced-fat cheese.
Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
