Preparation

Prepare Mashed Potatoes according to recipe standard. Ensure it is a smooth, spreadable consistency; set aside for later step.
In a large skillet, sauté Ground Beef on medium-high heat until lightly browned and broken apart.
Stir in Garlic Powder, Onion Powder and Black Pepper, and then drain in a colander. Place beef mixture back in the skillet and add the Mixed Vegetables and Corn; stir mixture until blended and sauté for ~ 5-10 minutes until the vegetables are al dente.
Meanwhile while the mixture is sautéing, prepare the Instant Beef Gravy Mix according to the package directions. Hold at >165ºF (74ºC). Stir the prepared gravy into the beef/vegetable mixture until combined.
Place the Breadcrumbs in a small mixing bowl, add the melted Margarine, Cheese mixture, Parsley and mix using a fork.
Lightly grease a full size insert pan (12 x 18 x 2 ½ inches deep) with cooking spray. Spread the prepared mashed potatoes on the bottom using a spatula until smooth. Next spread the beef/vegetable mixture evenly over the mashed potato layer. Lastly, sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the meat/vegetable mixture. Cover with parchment paper and then aluminum foil.
Place pan into preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes. Remove the foil and parchment and bake uncovered for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden and cheese is melted. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160ºF(71ºC) held for a minimum of 15 seconds.
Cut the full size insert pan into 6 by 4 to yield 24 servings per pan. Serve 1 piece (3” x 3”) each with spatula or 2 #8 scoop.
