INSTRUCTIONS

POTATOES

  • Peel the potatoes and slice them into smaller pieces.
  • Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with cold water.
  • Bring the water to a boil and reduce it to a simmer.
  • Depending on the size of your potatoes, simmer them on medium heat for 15-18 min. You want the potatoes to be soft enough that a knife will slice through them easily.
  • Drain the water off the potatoes and return them back to the pot.
  • Break the potatoes up with a potato masher and add the butter, garlic, salt, black pepper and half & half.
  • Continue mashing until the potatoes are smooth and creamy.

MEAT FILLING

    • Preheat the oven to 350
    • Heat up the oil in a pan.
  • Add the onions and fry until soft.
  • Add meat to the onions and brown.
  • Once the meat has started to brown sprinkle in the flour. Combine the flour with the meat and stir continuously for 1-2 min.
  • Pour in the beef broth and mix well. It will thicken as it cooks.
  • Add the remaining ingredients to the pan and cook for 5 min. Stirring occasionally so the meat doesn’t stick to the pan.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9×13 casserole dish.
  • Spread the potatoes evenly on top.
  • Place the casserole dish into the oven and bake for 30-40 min.
