  Stir everything together.

• 7 Add beef broth and frozen vegetables to the skillet. Bring it to a boil, then
  simmer until the sauce thickens and the vegetables are soft.
• 8 For the mashed potatoes, mash the cooked potatoes with butter, cream, the
  remaining salt and pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
• 9 Mix in the cheese until it's melted into the potatoes.
• 10 Put the beef mixture into a greased baking dish.
