Preparation
Step 1
Heat oil in a large saucepan and saute onions, 5 to 6 minutes.
Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in flour, thyme, water, seasoning sauce, bouillon cubes and Worcestershire sauce.
Reduce heat; simmer until sauce thickens and meat is fork-tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Remove pan from stove and transfer beef to earthenware dish. Reserve liquid.
Preheat oven to 350 deg. Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Lower heat; simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain potatoes and mash them.
Combine nutmeg, cream and egg yolk with butter, salt and pepper. Mix into mashed potatoes. Pipe potatoes over meat using a pastry bag.
Sprinkle with cheese, bake until potatoes are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve with warmed sauce.
