4 medium potatoes, cubed |
1/2 cup milk |
4 tablespoons butter, separated |
1 lb ground beef |
1 medium onion, 1/4-inch dice |
1 medium carrot, 1/4-inch dice |
1 stalk celery, sliced |
1/2 lb mushroom, sliced |
2/3 cup frozen peas |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped |
1 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 (3/4 ounce) package brown gravy mix, made according to package directions |

1. Peel potatoes and cut into cubes. Place in cold salted water and bring to a boil, reduce heat to low boil until potatoes are fork tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes and mash with milk and 2 tablespoons of the butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste and set aside.
2. Brown ground beef in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove ground beef from pan and drain off excess fat, reserving 3 tablespoons of fat. Put reserved fat in saucepan add onion, carrot, and celery. Saute for 5 minutes until onion becomes translucent. Add mushrooms and frozen peas, saute for 5 more minutes.

4. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Layer bottom of a 3-liter casserole dish with beef mixture, top with mashed potatoes, making uneven peaks with a fork. Cut remaining butter into small cubes and sprinkle over mashed potatoes.
