For a richer flavor, try using beef broth instead of water when simmering the meat mixture.
Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the meat mixture for extra depth.
Feel free to substitute the canned vegetables with fresh or frozen alternatives. If using frozen, thaw them before adding to the skillet.
For a creamier topping, mash the potatoes with a little milk or sour cream before arranging them on top of the meat mixture.
