  • Pour in beef broth, bring to a simmer, and cook until the mixture thickens. If needed, you can add a tbsp of flour or two to aid in this, but you likely won't need to.
    1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • Stir in frozen carrots, peas, & corn, and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Mashed Taters

  • If you're feeling like a multi-tasking pro, you can start this process while cooking the beef! Place your potatoes in a pot of lightly salted cold water. Turn heat to high & bring to a boil. Cook until fork-tender, around 15-20 minutes.
    2 pounds potatoes
  • Mash the potatoes with milk and butter until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    ½ cup milk, ¼ cup butter, Salt and pepper to taste
  • If using, stir in grated parmesan cheese.
    1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • Spread the meat filling evenly in a 9x13 baking dish.
  • Top with mashed potatoes, spreading evenly to ensure uniform cooking throughout.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
  • Separate into 4 separate portions & enjoy!
