How to Make Ranchero Shepherd's Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray an 8x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a large skillet sprayed with cooking spray, brown 1 lb ground beef (or turkey) over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 cup salsa, 1/2 cup tomato sauce, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add 1 cup trimmed and halved green beans and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well to combine.
- Pour the meat mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Remove from heat.
- Stir in 1 1/2 cups instant potato flakes and 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk powder until smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes, 1 teaspoon chili seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
- Mix gently with a fork until well combined.
- Spread the potato mixture evenly over the meat mixture in the baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Place the baking dish on a wire rack and let it set for 5 minutes before serving. Divide into 6 servings.
