GREAT! I made this for the ground beef tag game. I didn't have any leftovers so had to make everything from scratch. Even so, it turned out very easy, tasty and satisfying on a cold winter's night. I cooked and baked it all in a square cast iron pan for ease. I cooked freshly cut carrot rings in the microwave and made instant mashed potatoes with garlic salt. For the gravy, in a pyrex, I stirred 1 cup water, 2tbsp flour, brown seasoning, and beef bouillon cube together and microwaved it until hot. Then I stirred in the tomato paste and other seasonings. I used reduced fat cheddar cheese which was very browned at 20 minutes but delicious! I omitted the parsley. It did turn out salty due to the way I made the gravy but we love salt LOL. I took some step-by-step photos as I went along so will post them in the photo tutorial forum. Freddy Cat says thanks for the beef!
