Instructions

1. Begin by cooking the ground beef in a large stock pot over medium-high heat until fully browned. Drain any excess grease, then set aside.
2. Peel and chop the russet potatoes into thirds. Boil in salted water for 10-15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and mash with sour cream.
3. In the same pot, melt butter and sauté onions until soft; add garlic for an additional minute.
4. Stir in flour to create a roux, gradually adding chicken broth while scraping up browned bits from the bottom.
5. Season with Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, mustard powder, and sage. Incorporate half and half and bring to a boil before reducing heat to simmer.
6. Stir in mashed potatoes until combined; blend if desired for creaminess.
7. Add cooked beef and mixed vegetables; heat through.
8. Remove from heat and stir in shredded cheese until melted. Season with salt and pepper as desired.
