In the past I actually prepare this recipe, but I served it over mashed potatoes I had prepared with the potatoes from my own vegetable garden. It's been a while since I've prepared this, but I'm looking forward to preparing it again.

Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Yields: 4 Servings

1/2 LB. lean ground beef (at least 80%)
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 cup frozen mixed vegetables
1 (14.5-oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 (12-oz.) jar beef gravy

1-1/3 cups of water

1.) In a 12-inch non-stick skillet, the ground beef and onion o er medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until beef is thoroughly cooked; then drain.
2.) Stir in the mixed vegetables, tomatoes, gravy, marjoram and black pepper.
3.) Heat until boiling, then reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 8 to 10 minutes; stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender.
4.) In a 2-quart saucepan, heat water, butter and garlic salt to boiling. Then remove from heat, and stir in the milk, dried potatoes, and parsley just until combined. (Let stand for about 30 seconds, or until liquid is absorbed, then fluff potatoes with a fork.)
5.) Serve beef mixture over the potatoes.
