  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
                        oil spray
  1         tablespoon  olive oil
  1                cup  onions -- finely chopped
  2             cloves  garlic -- minced
  1 1/4         pounds  ground beef -- (leanest you can get)
  2        tablespoons  tomato paste -- reduced-sodium
  1         tablespoon  Worcestershire sauce
     1/2      teaspoon  garlic powder
     1/2      teaspoon  thyme -- dried
     1/4      teaspoon  paprika
  1                cup  beef broth -- fat-free, less sodium
                        salt
                        ground black pepper
  1 1/2         pounds  sweet potatoes -- peeled, cubed and boiled
     1/2           cup  buttermilk -- lowfat,  or reduced-fat sour cream
  2                     egg whites
  2        tablespoons  cheddar cheese -- reduced-fat, shredded   or swiss cheese
  1         tablespoon  Parmesan cheese -- grated

1.  Preheat oven to 350°F.  Coat a 6- 8-cup ceramic or glass gratin dish with oil spray.

2.  In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.  Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring until softened and translucent, 4 to 5 minutes.  Add the ground beef, and increase the heat to high.  Cook, stirring, until the beef is browned, 3 to 4 minutes longer.

3.  Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, thyme, and paprika.  Cook, stirring, 2 minutes.  Add the broth and cook 2 to 3 minutes, until the beef is cooked through and a light sauce forms.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Set aside.

4.  In a large bowl, mash to sweet potatoes with the buttermilk or sour cream until smooth.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  In a large metal bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt on high speed until stiff but not lumpy, 4 to 6 minutes.  They should cling firmly to the side of the bowl when tilted.  With a spatula, gently fold the egg whites, on-third at a time, into the sweet-potato mixture until all the egg whites are just incorporated and not deflated.

5.  Spread the meat mixture into the prepared casserole dish, and top with the sweet potato mixture.  Sprinkle with the Cheddar or Swiss cheese and the Parmesan cheese.

6.  Bake, uncovered, until the potato topping is puffed and browned around the edges, 30 to 35 minutes.  Serve immediately.
