2 lbs ground meat, beef, pork, lamb, turkey, any combo
1 medium onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, 3 of them minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
6 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon rosemary, minced (optional)
8 ounces frozen mixed vegetables
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
2 lbs potatoes, diced (yukon golds are awesome)
2 ounces cream cheese

1
If you are making homemade mashed potatoes, start them boiling or steaming with 3 cloves of garlic while you prepare meat mixture.
2
Saute onions and minced garlic in oil over medium heat, season with a pinch of salt and pepper for about 3 minutes.
3
Add ground meat and saute until almost done then add mushroom, rosemary and worchestershire and continue cooking til meat is done. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4
Add mixed vegetables and cook until thawed, then drain and add to baking dish. I used a 9x13 corningware casserole dish.
5
In same saute pan, melt butter over medium heat then whisk in flour until combined. (You want a light golden roux.) Then whisk in beef broth and cook continually whisking til gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Taste and season accordingly, stir into meat mixture.
6
Mash cooked potatoes with cream cheese and sour cream. I used my kitchenaid stand mixer for ease and consistency, but not necessary. Slowly add buttermilk until you reach desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. Stir in italian cheese.
7
Spread potatoes over meat mixture, sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 25 minutes.
