1 12 lbs ground beef
4 large potatoes
6 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, chopped
¼ cup cheddar cheese
13 lb carrot (carrot chips work better)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 cup water
1 (4 ounce) package brown gravy mix
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce

1
Make mashed potatoes from scratch.
2
Stir in worcestershire sauce and half the chopped onion with the ground beef as you brown it on medium heat (5/10).
3
As the ground beef is browning, heat a pot of salted water to a boil, and boil the carrots about 15 minutes (until soft).
4
If using instant mashed potatoes, start them now, and once they are complete, mix in half of the cheese and onion with them.
5
Once the ground beef is browned, drain off the excess grease, then mix in the water, brown gravy mix, ketchup, and flour.
6
Bring to a boil, then simmer for 5-10 minutes.
7
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
8
While the ground beef mixture is simmering, use a fork to mash the carrots.
9
Once all the ingredients are complete, spread the ground beef mixture in the bottom of the aluminum foil lined casserole dish, then top with a layer of the carrots, followed by the mashed potatoes, and then the remaining cheese.
10
Put into the oven uncovered for 20 minutes.
