Instructions

Step 1

Prep potatoes and boil in a med. pot until fork tender (~30min).

Step 2

While waiting on potatoes, brown beef in a large pot. Drain if desired and then add diced carrots, celery, onions, and mushrooms to the pot ( I cut and add as I go, in that order).

Step 3

Add Worcestershire, tomato paste, salt, rosemary, thyme and beef stock or ale. Preheat oven to 400°. Reduce heat to low on beef and vegetable mix, allow to thicken, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Once potatoes are done, drain and mash. Then the same pot add butter and milk, mix until fluffy.

Step 5

Transfer meat layer into 9 x 11 inch pan, spread evenly, then top with potatoes. Bake until potato browns, ~ 30min. Remove and top with sliced green onions.
