Instructions
- Brown beef and sauté vegetables: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brown ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. Drain excess grease. Add onion, garlic, and mixed vegetables to the skillet. Sauté for 10 minutes.
- Make sauce: Sprinkle cornstarch into the skillet and stir well. Add red wine, beef broth, salt, pepper, Herbes de Provence, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 10 minutes.
- Make mashed potatoes: While the beef mixture simmers, mash the cooked potatoes with butter, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and milk until smooth.
- Assemble and bake: Transfer the beef mixture to an oven-safe dish. Spread mashed potatoes evenly over the top. Use a fork to create texture on the potatoes and sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve: Serve hot.
