Filling

1 1/2 pounds extra-lean ground beef

1 cup chopped yellow onions

2 teaspoons minced garlic

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1 cup frozen peas-and-carrots blend

1 cup frozen or canned corn

2/3 cup reduced-sodium beef broth

2 tablespoons chili sauce 

1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper

To make filling, cook beef, onions, and garlic in a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat until meat is no longer pink and onions are tender. Stir in paprika and thyme. Cook 1 more minute. Add peas and carrots and corn. Mix well. 

In a medium bowl or measuring cup, whisk together broth, chili sauce, flour and Worcestershire sauce. Add to meat mixture in pot, along with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Let simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Mixture will thicken slightly. Remove from heat, cover and keep warm while you prepare potato topping.

Potato Topping

2 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks 

1/2 cup light sour cream

1/2 cup + 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Chopped fresh parsley for garnish, optional

To make topping, place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water by 2 inches (salt water if desired). Bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 12 to 14 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander. Return to pot. Sprinkle ½ cup Parmesan. Cover with lid and let stand 1 minute for cheese to melt. Add sour cream, salt and onion powder. Mash well using a potato masher or immersion blender to get them nice and smooth.

now to make them MINI!

Press 1 biscuit dough onto the bottom and up the sides of each of 10 greased muffin cups. Fill with beef mixture. Spread potato mixture over beef. Sprinkle with paprika and parmesan; press down lightly.

Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. ENJOY!
