May. 16, 2007 - ~* Mashed Potato Beef Casserole *~
This is my tweaked version of a recipe in Taste Of Home's Prize-Winning Recipes 2007
(I made this on Monday and it was a hit.)

Mashed Potato Beef Casserole
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
¼ yellow pepper, finely chopped
1 lbs ground beef
12 oz jar of beef gravy (used Boston Market brand)1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
pepper, garlic granules, and salt to taste
3 C hot mashed potatoes
(mashed leftover crockpot potatoes w/ ½ C lite sour cream…yummy!)
½ C mozzarella cheese
In an oven-safe skillet, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon, set aside until cool enough to crumble. Cook onions, carrot, pepper in drippings. Remove w/ slotted spoon to bowl. Cook beef in remaining drippings over medium heat until no longer pink.
Add vegetables back in.Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 15-20 minutes or until vegetables are tender and juices are reduced, if necessary, drain at this point.
Add bacon crumbles.
Pour 2/3 jar of gravy over meat and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with Mozzarella cheese.
Spread mashed potatoes over top, like a frosting.
Drizzle remaining gravy over top of mashed potatoes.
Bake, uncovered at 350 degrees F for 20 – 25 minutes or until heated through.
Yield: 4 – 6 servings

I appreciate you trying to make it more readable, but I regret to inform you that it didn't work for me. :-( I'm so sorry! In fact, with the smaller font, I'm losing more of the text. Thank you for the recipe! It's similar to mine, but I'd never even thought about putting it in the crock, so that was helpful.
And please don't worry about fixing it for just lil ol me.
Hugs,
