- Yield: 6 servings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef or lamb; minced (ground)
- 1 large onion; sliced
- 1 lb carrots; grated (coarsely)
- 1/2 lb peas; frozen or fresh
- 2 lb potatoes; peeled and chopped for boiling
- Cheese; (to your liking) grated
- 1 tbsp cooking oil
Instructions
- Peel potatoes and add to pan of cold water.
- Grate carrots coarsely.
- Peel and chop the onion finely, add it to a medium saucepan with the cooking oil, saute gently until it turns a golden color.
- Add the minced beef to the onions and cook until browned, drain excess liquid into a jug.
- Place the meat and onion mixture into a pyrex or enamel dish large enough to take the pie, mix in the peas and carrots.
- Return the liquid left over from the meat to the pan, thicken with a little cornstarch (cornflour) and add to the meat mixture.
- Boil the potatoes until done, then drain and mash well with a little butter or margarine (a walnut sized piece or more if you like the buttery flavor)
- Turn the potatoes out onto the top of the meat mixture and spread well, making sure it touches the sides of the dish.
- Fluff the top well with a fork so that there are little peaks in it.
- Bake in the oven on the middle shelf at about 350 degrees fahrenheit until golden brown and crispy on top (approximately 30 minutes).
- Remove from the oven and scatter the grated cheese all over the potato topping and place back in the oven for 5 more minutes or until melted.
- Serve with other vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, green beans whichever vegetable you prefer.
