salt and pepper to taste

1/2 medium onion, diced
1 package dry brown gravy mix
1/2 cup water

1 1/2 tsp dried parsley
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375ºF
Prepare potatoes to your preference, adding half of minced garlic and set aside (I usually add parsley, salt and pepper at this point in mashed potatoes, you can either sprinkle parsley, salt and pepper on top of mashed potatoes in the loaf pan or omit it.
In a medium pan, add oil and ground beef or turkey, onions, and remaining minced garlic.
Add dry gravy mix and water to meat and stir until completely mixed and thickens.
Mix in vegetables and put in sprayed loaf pan. Add mashed potatoes and top with shredded cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is completely melted.
