Description
True comfort food at its best. Ground beef, onions, peas and carrots in a creamy gravy. Corn and creamy mashed potatoes. This can be assembled the day before or in the morning, ready to pop in the oven for a delicious dinner.
Ingredients
2–1/2 lbs red potatoes (about 8 medium sized)
1 to 1-1/4 lbs ground beef
3/4 cup – 1 cup chopped onion
2 medium carrots, quartered and chopped
1/4 frozen or fresh peas
1 can beef broth (about 2 cups)
1 can creamed or kernel corn
2–3 Tbsp cornstarch mixed with a few Tablespoons of water
Salt & Pepper
1 Tbsp dried parsley
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
Boil potatoes for mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes with butter and milk or half and half.
In a skillet on med high heat, add ground beef, onions and carrots. Let cook until beef is no linger pink and starting to get a little browned and onions are translucent.
Add peas and beef broth.
Cook until peas and carrots are tender.
Thicken with a slurry of cornstarch and water a little at a time until slightly thickened and no longer watery.
Season with dried parsley, salt and pepper.
In a 8″ x 11″ baking dish, add ground beef mixture to the bottom of the dish.
Add creamed corn for the next layer.
Add mashed potatoes to the top.
Bake in a 375 F degree oven until the top of mashed potatoes starts to brown and mixture is bubbly.
Notes
For 2 people, I usually make in a square baking dish or a 8″ x 11″ baking dish seems to fit everything perfectly.
