Shepherd's Pie

3 cups chopped potatoes
1 cup chopped carrots
1 lbs. ground beef
½ cup chopped small onion
1 can chopped green beans
2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 ½ cups cold water
Salt and pepper
Grated Cheese

1. Cook potatoes until tender and mash with butter and milk. (Regular mashed potatoes.)
2. Cook carrots until tender.
3. Brown ground beef and onion. Rinse with water and then put them back into the pan.
4. Add cornstarch to water in a bowl and stir. (It has to be cold water or the cornstarch won’t mix in.)
5. Add the water, cornstarch mixture to the hamburger mixture. Simmer over low heat until the mixture thickens like a gravy. Add salt and pepper to taste.
6. Add the carrots and beans to the hamburger mixture and cook until beans are heated.
7. Pour the above mixture into a casserole dish.
8. Cover the hamburger mixture with the mashed potatoes and sprinkle with cheese.
9. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese is melted. I turn on the broiler the last couple minutes to make the cheese crusty on top.

This requires you to do a lot of steps at once, but it is worth it. This is the best vegetable dish for kids – my boys love it!
