Feel free to get creative with the Poor Man’s Steak by adding different spices such as smoked paprika or garlic powder to the meat mixture for more flavor. For a lighter version, you can substitute ground turkey for the beef. As for the mashed potatoes, adding a bit of grated Parmesan or swapping in some of the butter with cream cheese can make them even more luscious!
