Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onion until beef is browned and onion is tender, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute; drain any excess fat. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer the beef mixture and frozen mixed vegetables to a 5- to 6-quart slow cooker. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, tapioca, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Pour the mixture over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker, stirring to combine. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 4 to 6 hours or on High for 3 hours, until the filling is heated through and the flavors have melded. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Prepare the mashed potatoes according to package directions. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and well combined. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Spread the cheesy mashed potatoes evenly over the beef mixture in the slow cooker. (5 minutes)

08

Step

Cover and cook on High for an additional 20 minutes, or until the mashed potatoes are heated through. (20 minutes)

09

Step

Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika and fresh chopped parsley before serving. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider browning the ground beef with a tablespoon of olive oil.
To prevent the mashed potatoes from drying out, you can drizzle a little melted butter or milk over the top before the final 20-minute cook time.
Feel free to customize the vegetables with your favorites! Peas, carrots, and corn are classic choices, but green beans or mushrooms would also be delicious additions.
If you don't have tapioca, you can substitute cornstarch as a thickening agent. Mix it with a little cold water before adding it to the broth mixture to prevent clumping.
