When making homemade mashed potatoes, I use fat-free sour cream instead of milk for a creamier texture. For the truly ambitious, you can pipe the mashed potatoes on top of the beef mixture for an attractive presentation. I've never been that ambitious, and my family eats it up too quickly to notice anyway.
