Instructions

Remove beef pot roast from package; cut beef into 3/4-inch pieces.

Heat 1 teaspoon butter in deep ovenproof 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook onion and garlic in butter 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add beef, gravy, mixed vegetables, thyme and pepper to skillet; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 10 minutes.

Set oven control to Broil. Make both pouches of potatoes as directed on package using hot water, milk and 1/4 cup butter.
