• Mix in the Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes.
• When the potatoes are done cooking, reserve a cup of potato water (use a coffee cup to dip in and remove water) and set aside.
• Drain the potatoes and add back to the pot. Add in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, almond milk, Greek Yogurt and 1/8 cup of the potato water. Mash with a potato masher, adding more potato water as needed to thin the potatoes.

• Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the ground beef. And sprinkle the top with cheese.
• Move to the oven and bake for 30 minutes, until browned and bubbling. If necessary, broil for the last 2 minutes to help brown the potatoes.

SOUTHWEST SHEPHERD'S PIE (LOW FAT)

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet, sauté onion, garlic, carrot, and mushrooms over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are wilted and pan liquids are absorbed, about 6 minutes.
• Crumble in the ground sirloin and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is well browned, about 5 minutes. Drain off any excess fat.
• Add oregano, thyme, cumin, and pepper. Sprinkle flour over the beef mixture and stir. Add beef broth, wine, and tomato paste. Stir until well combined.
• Line a 2-quart (2 l) casserole with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil large enough to completely enclose the casserole. Lightly spray the foil inside the casserole with cooking spray.
• Transfer meat mixture to the prepared casserole. Set aside while you prepare the topping.
• Place the potatoes in a pot of boiling water to cover. Reduce heat and simmer until tender when pierced with a fork, 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
• Mash the potatoes, adding sufficient skim milk until the potatoes are fluffy. Stir in the salt (if using), minced jalapeño chiles, cilantro, and scallion. Spoon the potato mixture onto the top of the meat mixture, making swirls with the back of a spoon. Sprinkle with paprika and cheese.
• Cover the casserole and freeze until solid. Lift the food out of the casserole (the foil will adhere), wrap securely in the foil, then slip the package into a self-sealing plastic freezer bag or overwrap in additional foil or freezer paper. Label with the casserole name and the date. Use within 3 months.
• When ready to bake, unwrap the casserole and place back in the casserole dish to bake. Defrost completely. Then bake at 375°F (190°C) for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden and bubbly. (Since the casserole will be full, it may bubble over, so place a sheet of aluminum foil under the casserole to catch any drips.) Serve hot.
