Preparation

Step 1

2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain, mash and set aside. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.)
3. Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add onion and cook until clear. Add ground beef. Add 1/4 cup of worstershire to the ground beef mixture before cooking and then cook until well browned. Pour off excess fat, then stir in flour and cook 1 minute. Add ketchup and add a packet of brown gravy mix to 1 cup of water and stir into the browned and floured meat mix. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Spread the ground beef in an even layer on the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Next, spread a layer of Peas and Carrots. Top with the mashed potato mixture and sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese.
