- 1 16 oz bag of frozen mixed vegetables
- 1 10.75 oz can can tomato soup
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 cup shredded cheddar or colby jack cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

- Place ground beef mixture into a 8x8 baking dish, spreading out to completely cover the bottom. Add mashed potatoes on top of ground beef mixture, using a spoon or spatula to spread out.
