3) Sauté onions in butter until tender over medium heat (10 mins). Add the vegetables, add them according to cooking time.

4) Add ground beef and sauté until no longer pink. Add salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce.

5) Then add half a cup of beef broth and cook, uncovered, over low heat for 10 minutes, adding more beef broth as necessary to keep moist.

6) Mash potatoes in bowl with rest of butter, season to taste (you can add sour cream or cheese to the potatoes if you’d like)

7) Place beef mixture into baking dish. Distribute mashed potatoes on top.

8) Rough up with a fork so that there are peaks that will brown nicely. You can use the fork to make some designs in the potatoes as well.
