- 1/2 cup sour cream

Notes
For extra flavor, brown the beef with Worcestershire sauce or smoked paprika.
Use a mix of potato varieties for different textures.
Add a can of diced tomatoes or green chilies for a Southwestern twist.
Stir in fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for a gourmet touch.
If reheating from frozen, add a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out.
