Preparation
- Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Boil in a large pot of water for 5 minutes. Drain water, replace and boil again until potatoes are tender; drain.

- While potatoes are cooking, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large frying pan. Over medium heat, sauté onions and garlic until tender (10 minutes).
- Add ground beef and sauté until no longer pink.
- Add pepper, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce and vegetables. Simmer on low heat, uncovered, for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Mash potatoes in a bowl with 2 tablespoons of butter. Mix in milk to give potatoes a creamy consistency. Add pepper to taste.
- Spread beef evenly in baking dish. Cover evenly with mashed potatoes. Use a fork to make a design.

- Prepare gravy mix according to package instructions. Serve 2 tablespoons of gravy over each portion.
Helpful hints
- Double boiling potatoes in a large pot of water reduces potassium content. Peel and cut potatoes into small pieces, cover with water and boil 5 minutes. Replace with fresh water and cook to desired consistency. Discard cooking water.
- Freeze extra portions for a quick meal later.
