1boxinstant potatoes plus ingredients listed on box to make 12 cups
Instructions
So start off by making up a batch of instant potatoes...12 cups worth. :) Just follow the instructions on the package because every brand/package is a tad bit different.
In a skillet, melt the butter and add your shredded carrots. Saute these for about 8 minutes or until the carrots are tender. Now..you can shred your own carrots or you can buy a bag of shredded carrots. That is the way I do it. :)
Once the carrots are soft, add in your browned ground beef, broth, Better Than Boullion, Worcestershire Sauce, corn starch and stir it all up.
Now you can add in your peas and green beans. Stir these in gently.
Take a nice big 9x13 in baking pan and pour your meat and veggie mixture into the pan.
Now take your instant mashed potatoes and cover the top with a nice thick layer of potatoes.
Lastly you will sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the potatoes.
Bake for about 30 minutes in a preheated oven set at 350 degrees F.
Recipe Notes
If you have leftover mashed potatoes that will work great too! Just make sure you have enough to cover your casserole. Picky eaters are not a problem...if you don't like a veggie I have added in...just omit it and add more of a different kind.
