Ingredients
- 1 small onion
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 2 (8-ounce) cans tomato sauce
- 1 1/2 cups mixed vegetables or niblet corn, prepared
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 to 10 medium red new potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 12 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 cups instant biscuit mix
Directions
Beef Layer: Saute onions in 2 tablespoons butter. Add ground beef. After beef is browned, add tomato sauce; Mix in vegetables. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
Potato Layer: Peel and slice potatoes 1/4-inch thick. Cook in boiling water for approximately 15 minutes or until fork-tender. Whip potatoes with electric mixer; mix until moderately smooth. Don't over beat them; a few lumps are nice. Add 1/2 cup heated milk, 1/2 cup butter, and sour cream. Salt and pepper, to taste. Whip until mixed. Adjust thickness by adding more milk, if desired.
Biscuit Layer: Combine biscuit mix and 1 cup milk. The mix should be thinner than normal biscuit mix but not runny.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a 9 by 9 by 2-inch pan, or any similar casserole dish. Layer half way up with the mashed potatoes. Next, spread a layer of mixed vegetables or niblet corn on top of potatoes. Then add a layer of the meat. Pour biscuit mix over meat. Melt 4 tablespoons of butter and drizzle over top. Bake for approximately 35 to 45 minutes until top is golden brown.
Note: Leftovers make this dish easy to put together. So if you have leftover pork roast or beef roast with gravy and mashed potatoes from Sunday dinner then this is an easy mid- week meal that will take only a few minutes.

Recipe is very good. I don't use as much butter on top of the biscuit layer and it still taste great. I also use veggie crumbles instead of ground beef and the recipe becomes an amazing vegetarian dish!

Had an interesting taste.....however, I am more fond of the original british recipe. Always love trying Paula's recipes however. Also, this recipe made 3 - 9" pie's........if I use it again I will at least half the recipe for a 9" pie dish waaay to much to pack into one pie dish.

I thought the bisquit and potatoes were good, but the ground beef mixture was too bland for me. I won't use this recipe again.
