• 1 lb of some sort of meat - ground beef and jimmy dean sasusage works well

• Several carrots (or frozen carrots) cut up
• 1 cup of peas
• Six or so potatoes - more is better!

Steps

• If you have a cast iron skillet, use it
• Make mashed potatoes
  • Peel (mostly) the potatoes
  • Boil the potatoes until tender
  • Combine with the butter
  • Mix in a stand mixer or mash by hand
• Cook beef along with the diced onion
• Add in carrots and peas
• To make sure carrots and peas are tender, add a bit of water to your meat/veg pan and let it steam the vegetables
• Drain some of the water/grease from the pan
• Spread mashed potatoes on top of your mixture
• If you’re using cast iron, just stick it in the oven and broil it until your potatoes get a little crispy at the top
• Otherwise, stick it in a corning dish and bake it for a while uncovered
