Method
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 doesnโt stick to the pan.
-
Pour the mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish.
-
Spread the potatoes evenly on top.
-
Place the casserole dish into the oven and bake for 30-40 min.
