Baking dish | |
2 pounds | baking potatoes,, (about 4), peeled and thinly sliced |
Coarse salt | |
ground pepper | |
1 tablespoon | vegetable oil, such as safflower |
6 medium | carrots, halved lengthwise, quartered if large, and thinly sliced |
6 | celery stalks, thinly sliced |
1 large | onion, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon | dried thyme |
1/4 cup | all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup | tomato paste |
2 pounds | lean ground beef |
1 cup | whole milk |
1 1/2 cups | shredded sharp white cheddar,, (6 ounces) |
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450. Place potatoes in a large saucepan, and cover by 1 inch with salted water. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer. Cook until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a paring knife, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high. Add carrots, celery, onion, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add flour and tomato paste; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add beef; cook, stirring occasionally, until no longer pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Add 1 cup water; bring to a boil, and simmer 1 minute. Set beef filling aside.
Drain potatoes; return to pan. Cook over medium, stirring, until liquid has evaporated and a thin film covers bottom of pan, about 1 minute. Remove pan from heat; add milk and 1 cup cheese. Mash until smooth; season cheddar-potato topping with salt and pepper.
Pour beef filling into a 13-by-9-inch ( or 2 square)baking dish. Drop dollops of topping over filling; spread to edges with a spatula. Using a fork, make decorative peaks; sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese. Bake until topping is browned and filling is bubbling rapidly, about 20 minutes (if topping and filling were chilled, increase to 35 minutes). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with salad
