Ingredients
2 cups of frozen corn
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 pounds ground beef
1 clove minced garlic
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup beef broth
1 can dried tomatoes
1 tablespoon thyme
1 tablespoon rosemary
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3 large potatoes
2 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
garlic salt, oregano, paprika (to add to potatoes)
sour cream (optional)
Directions:
Step 1:Boil the corn and set it aside. While the corn is boiling, chop the onion.
Step 2:In a very large sauce pan, melt the butter in a large skillet and saute the onions.
Step 3:Add the ground beef when the onions turn golden.
Step 4:Once the ground beef starts to brown, stir in the minced garlic, flour, beef broth, tomatoes, herbs and corn. **Don't overload it - put in one at a time and start with the broth so that everything can cook well.**
Step 5:Careful things don't start to overflow. If you have two pans, try to spread the ingredients evenly in both pans.
Here's where I combined the two pans back into one.
Step 6:A dusting of Rosemary leaves on top to add some zest.
Step 7:Try not to spill - you will though so have some lysol ready like I did! Use a ladle to transfer the meat to a casserole dish and layer it well.
Step 8:After the meal is ready, peel and boil the potatoes. Cube them into small pieces and then mash them with a fork of whip them. Add some milk and butter and the following if you wish: garlic salt, oregano, paprika. If you're going for a very rich mashed potatoe, add some sour cream. I loaded it with grated cheese that melted easily and made a lovely addition to the potatoes.
Step 9:When the potatoes are ready, spoon them on top of the meat in the casserole dish. Smoothen it flat in the dish. Dust a little paprika on top for a finishing effect.
Step 10:Place the pan in the oven at 350 degrees Farenheit for 20 minutes. Serve hot.
