[start step 3 then return to potatoes] (Once boiling, uncover, decrease the heat to maintain a simmer and cook until tender and easily crushed with tongs, approximately 15-20 mins.)

Step 3


In a large sauté pan with oil, sauté onions and carrots, then garlic. Add ground beef and cook through until brown.

Step 4


Continue filling: Sprinkle meat with flour and toss to coat. Add salt/pepper and cumin (optional), add Worcestershire Sauce, Beef Broth, and Rosemary/ Thyme (optional). Brind to boil, cover and simmer low and covered until sauce is thick (10-15 mins).

Step 5


Mash Potatoes: Add half-and-half or milk, butter, and salt/pepper to drained potatoes. Mash until smooth.

Step 6


Continue filling: Add corn and green beans (peas optional) for just a few mins to heat.

Step 7
