Prep
Ingredients
| 4 potatoes |
| 1/8 cup milk |
| 1 garlic clove |
| 2 tablespoon butter |
| 1/4 teaspoon season all salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon pepper |
| 2 cups beef cooking liquid |
| 1/4 cup butter |
| 1/4 cup flour |
| 1 teaspoon olive oil |
| 1 small onion |
| 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
| 12 ounces frozen mixed vegetables |
| 2 cups shredded roast beef |
Prep
- Gather all of your ingredients and measuring tools
- Peel 1 garlic clove then place in the pot.
- If you don’t like potato skin in your mashed potatoes then peel your potatoes. Cut potatoes in half and place in pot with garlic.
- Chop one small onion and place in a prep bowl; set aside.
- Measure 1/4 cup of flour; set aside.
- Chop 2 cups of roast beef then set aside.
Let's cook!
- Boil or steam potatoes until fork tender. Do not discard cooking liquid. Scoop potatoes out of the liquid or remove from steamer basket into a large bowl.
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Bring the water back to boil. Steam or boil frozen vegetables for 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/8 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon season all salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper to potatoes and mash them then set aside.
- Strain the vegetables and set aside.
- Gravy: Using the same pan as the potatoes and vegetables add ¼ cup butter and melt. Add flour stirring for 2 minutes until thick and brown.
- While stirring slowly add beef broth and keep stirring until thick. When you run your finger across the back of the spoon you will see a clean line. Turn off heat.
- In a large sauté pan add 1 teaspoon olive oil and onion until tender.
- Add chopped beef, vegetables, and gravy. Mix everything together.
- If your pan is oven proof at 350° F spoon potatoes on top of the mixture.
- Place in oven for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
- If your pan is not oven proof then add the beef mixture to the bottom of a
casserole dish. Spoon potatoes over the top and bake for 30 minutes.
