Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and no longer pink.
  4. Sprinkle the flour over the browned beef and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
  5. Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
  6. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and beef broth (made by dissolving beef cubes in boiling water) along with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Pour the beef and mushroom mixture into a 6-cup baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  9. Top with the seasoned mashed potatoes, spreading them evenly over the filling.
  10. Use the tines of a fork to create decorative ridges on the surface of the potatoes.
  11. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  12. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the layers to set.
