Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Place potatoes in a large saucepan; add water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook, uncovered, until tender, 15-20 minutes. Drain potatoes; return to pan and stir over low heat 1 minute to dry. Mash potatoes, gradually adding sour cream, heavy whipping cream and butter. Stir in cheese, salt and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook beef until no longer pink, breaking into crumbles, 8-10 minutes; drain. Stir in consomme, wine, tomato paste, garlic and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered until liquid has evaporated, 20-25 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add zucchini, onion, green pepper and carrots. Cook and stir until tender, 5-7 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper.
  4. To assemble, spoon meat mixture into a greased 13x9-in. dish. Top with vegetable mixture and mashed potatoes. Bake until potatoes are lightly browned, 30-35 minutes.
