C4 Crazy Casserole

YOU WILL NEED – FOR GRAVY AND BEEF

•          2 to 3 cups milk
•          3 tablespoons butter
•          1 ½ to 2lb ground beef
•          1 cup frozen vegetables (optional)

YOU WILL NEED – FOR POTATOES

•          3/4to 1 ½ cups water or milk
•          2 tablespoons butter

DIRECTIONS

1.      Preheat oven 350F. Remove the 2 clear pouches found inside your bag and set aside
2.      Heat a skillet to medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart as it cooks.  Cook your beef all the way through until slightly brown. Remove from pan
3.      In the same skillet add butter (for gravy) to the bottom of your pan. Add contents of your clear bag (removed in step 1) and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add milk, ½ cup at a time. Whisk your milk into your gravy mix, while heat is on medium-low and allow your gravy to become thick, adding more milk or water until you reach desired consistency.
4.      Add your beef mixture, stir to coat. Add additional frozen vegetables (optional), up to 1 cup. Stir to coat. Pour beef mixture on the bottom of your ungreased 9x9 casserole dish.  Set aside
5.      Empty contents found directly inside your pouch (potatoes) to your empty saucepan along with butter and water or milk. Heat your skillet to medium heat, stir your mixture until all the moisture is absorbed.  Add additional milk if desired until your favorite potato consistency is achieved. Pour potatoes on top of beef and smooth the top. Open contents of Bag #1 and sprinkle on top.
6.      Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until mix is heated through. Turn your oven to broil setting the very last 30 to 60 seconds of cooking to lightly brown the top
