1 1/4 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 cloves garlic, halved
1 pound lean ground beef
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup beef broth
3 tablespoons ketchup
4 cups frozen mixed vegetables
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
3/4 cup light sour cream
1 teaspoon salt

1
Place cubed potatoes and garlic in a large pot with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes.
2
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3
Brown ground beef over medium heat in a skillet. Stir in flour, mixing with beef drippings.
4
Add beef broth, ketchup and vegetables. Stir to combine. Cook for 5 minutes, until thick.
5
Transfer beef mixture into an oven-proof casserole dish.
6
Drain potatoes and smash them a little bit before adding 1/4 cup of grated cheese and sour cream. Mash together until smooth.
7
Spoon potatoes onto the middle of the meat mixture. With a fork, spread potatoes from the center to the edges to form the top layer.
8
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese.
9
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.
