1 onion, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
dash salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
2 Tbsp unbleached all purpose flour
2 C beef broth
1 16 oz bag frozen mixed veggies, thawed
6 red potatoes, peeled and chopped
1/2 C butter
1/2 C milk
1 Tbsp paprika
Place ground meat, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper in large frying pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, just until meat is browned. Do not drain. Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat the meat mixture, then add beef broth. Simmer until thickened.
While meat is cooking and veggies are thawing, bring potatoes to a boil (salt the water if desired. Another option: add a bay leaf or two to the water and remove when draining.) Simmer for ten minutes, then drain. Add butter and mash thoroughly with a potato masher, then add milk and stir well.
To assemble: in a casserole dish (no need to grease) layer first the veggies, then the meat and gravy, then carefully spread the mashed potatoes on top. Sprinkle with paprika for color. Bake, 375, for 30 minutes.
