The flavors of old-school Italian American cooking shine in this hearty dish. Savory beef and an aromatic blend of onion, garlic, and bell pepper simmer in a robust tomato-y red sauce for a weeknight dinner that satisfies like a Sunday supper. To complete the meal, spinach and monterey jack are folded into uber-creamy mashed potatoes for a delizioso twist on meat and potatoes. *Nutrition values are representative of a 1/2 container serving.*
