Ingredients
- For the Beef Mixture:
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 white onion diced into smaller pieces
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 1/2 cup frozen corn
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary leaves
- 1 tsp dried thyme leaves
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- For the Mashed Potatoes:
- 3 large russet potatoes peeled and quartered
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- THEN PREPARE THE MEAT MIXTURE:
- Then in a large skillet, add the ground beef and the onion. Brown the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon or spatula. Cook until the beef is browned (approximately 5-6 minutes).
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Then add in the minced garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
- Then stir in the flour and tomato paste. Stir well until these ingredients are well combined with the beef mixture.
- Next add in the broth, frozen vegetables, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, pepper, Rosemary and thyme.
- Bring this mixture to a boil and then reduce the heat to low to simmer for about 5 minutes.
- THEN PREPARE THE MASHED POTATOES:
- Place the potatoes in al large pot and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil, reduce temperature to low to simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are fork tender.
- Drain the potatoes and then return to the potatoes to the hot pot.
- Then add in the butter, milk, salt and pepper. Use an electric mixer to blend the potatoes until they are light and fluffy or use a hand masher to mash them to the consistency that you prefer.
- THEN PREPARE THE CASSEROLE:
- Spread the meat mixture on the bottom of the 9X13 baking pan.
- Then spoon the mashed potatoes on top and spread it to make an even layer on top of the casserole.
- Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes until the casserole is cooked through and the top is slightly brown.
- *You can broil for 2-3 minutes to brown the top of the potatoes if you prefer.
- Then let the casserole set for 10-15 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- *Refrigerate the leftovers for up to 4-5 days.
- *Make sure that the mashed potatoes are hot when spread as they spread more evenly when they are hot.
