Ingredients

  • 2 pounds lean ground beef or lamb
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoons ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons flour of any kind all-purpose or buckwheat for a GF option
  • 1 large onion finely diced
  • 1 can of diced peas and carrots
  • 1 can corn
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 6 cups mashed potatoes room temperature
  • Parsley to garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees
  • In a large pan cook your ground beef on medium heat until cooked through with salt and pepper; about 10 minutes, and then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of flour and stir. You can strain your beef instead of using the flour if you wish.
  • Cook the onion for 5 minutes, then add in the can of peas and carrots, corn, and beef broth, bringing it to a simmer then reduce the heat to low for about 10 minutes.
  • Using a 9x13 casserole dish that is greased, evenly place the beef mixture on the bottom.
  • Scoop your mashed potatoes on top and spread them across the beef creating a nice even layer.
  • Place your casserole dish in the oven for 30 minutes and serve warm.

Notes

This recipe was created to use up frozen or canned vegetables - but fresh vegetables are delicious in place of canned. We made this recipe as a great way to use canned vegetables before their expiration!
