Bob Evans Original Mashed PotatoesInstructions
- Prepare Bob Evans Original Mashed Potatoes according to package directions. Set aside.
- Meanwhile in a large 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and salt. Use a spatula to break the beef up with a wooden spoon. Cook until just cooked through, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, beans, green chiles and tomato paste to ground beef in skillet. Stir and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes. If the chili starts to stick to the bottom reduce the temperature.
- Use a slotted spoon to scoop the chili to the bottom of a 2-quart casserole dish. Leave the sauce in the pan to continue to reduce. Once it is thickened (it will happen pretty fast) pour into the casserole dish and stir.
- Scoop the potatoes a large spoon at a time (about 12 big scoops) and place on top of the chili. Then, spread mashed potatoes over the top trying not to mix the sauce and the potatoes.
- Use the back of the spoon to tap the potatoes to add texture. Sprinkle the cheese over the mashed potatoes.
- Broil for 3-5 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
