1.
In a large pan, fry onion in the butter until tender.
2.
Add the vegetables to the onion and cook until tender.
3.
Add meat, Worcestershire sauce, and broth. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and cook uncovered, adding additional broth as needed to keep from drying out.
4.
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread the meat mixture evenly into the bottom of a 3-qt. baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over top of the meat.
5.
Bake until browned and bubbling.
Used mashed sweet potatoes, ground beef, 1.5 c. chopped carrot, 0.5 c. chopped celery, 15 oz. creamed corn, and chicken broth. Added a total of 1 tsp. salt and 2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce. This is quite good, but the Worcestershire sauce was not easy to detect, so will add 1 tsp. more next time.
