Recipe

• 5 spread the beef mixture in a 9-by-13-inch (or similar 3-quart) baking dish. top with the broccoli and pour the cheese sauce evenly over the top.
• 6 combine potatoes, egg, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. sprinkle evenly over the casserole. coat the top with cooking spray.
