Ingredients:

1/4 cup canned green beans, chopped
1 teaspoon mesquite powder
3 teaspoons fresh ground pepper
2 teaspoons basil
2 teaspoons goya adobo seasoning
1 beef bouillon cube
1/2 cup water
5 tablespoons burgundy cooking wine
8 large potatoes
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons pepper
Directions:
1. Boil potatoes in salted water approximately 20 min or until knife enters with ease. Drain, add butter, salt and pepper, and mix with electric mixer. Add sour cream and half and half, mix with electric mixer until smooth.
2. Dissolve the bullion cube in the 1/2 cup water, and put a side.
3. In a large skillet brown the ground beef, add the onion, garlic, pepper, adoba seasoning, mesquite and basil.

5. Bake for about 20min or until bubbling, broil for an additional 5min if you want a slightly crunchy browned top.
