Make it your size

Tap as you measure. A little less to keep in your head.

Let’s make it

one step at a time
  1. 01

    Heat oven to 400°F. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15–20 minutes; drain. Mash with milk and butter and season to taste.

  2. 02

    Brown beef in a large skillet, breaking it up. Add onion and carrots and cook until softened. Drain excess fat. Cook the beef to 160°F.

  3. 03

    Stir in flour and cook one minute. Add broth and Worcestershire, then simmer 3–5 minutes until a thick gravy forms. Fold in peas.

  4. 04

    Spread filling in the dish and spoon potatoes evenly over it.

  5. 05

    Bake 20–30 minutes, until bubbling and the center reaches 165°F. Rest five minutes.

That’s a good thing made.
Enjoy every bite.
