This was so easy! I added a can of ranch beans (drained) in with the beef. My husband and 18 month old daughter loved it. Will definitely make again!

This was great! I added some frozen veggies into the ground beef mix and used the instant mash potato. Everyone was looking for seconds! A great, easy, cheap and tasty recipe that will be reappearing at our dining table very soon. Thanks for posting xxx
