From: Fall Favorites

Brought By: Kristen B. 

Ingredients:

2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed

Milk, butter, etc

(Make your own version of mashed potatoes how ever you like them.  Even instant for a quicker meal!)

1 1/2 lbs ground beef

1 onion, chopped

2 T fresh parsley

1 cup frozen peas and carrots

2 T butter

2 T flour

1 1/2 c beef broth

2 T tomato paste

3 T Worcestershire sauce (can be adjusted for taste, but this is what gives it the zing!)

Directions:

Brown beef and onions. Drain well.  Set aside.  In the same skillet, melt the butter.  Add the flour, whisk and cook 2 min.  Whisk in broth, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce.  Thicken gravy 1 minute.  Add in peas and carrots and 1 T parsley.  Add in beef and onions.  Mix well. Spoon meat mixture into a baking dish.  Place potatoes in large dollops on top and carefully spread to cover the meat.  Bake 20 min at 350 or broil for just a few minutes. Top with remaining parsley.

*This is great for a make ahead dish, just add more baking time to rewarm.
