Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs lean ground beef
1 cup diced onion
1 cup diced carrot
1 cup diced celery
1 1/2 cups corn (fresh or frozen)
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
8 ounces beef broth
2 tablespoons melted butter, mixed with
2 tablespoons flour (called a roux)
2 lbs potatoes, cooked and mashed

Steps:

  • Cook ground beef in frying pan until brown. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg.
  • Lower heat and cook for 10 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Add beef broth and bring to a boil.
  • Stir in enough of the butter/flour roux to make a thick gravy to bind the filling. Pour into large shallow baking pan and cool. The filling should be about 1-1/2 inches deep.
