1/2 pounds Ground beef, round, lamb, bison or a combination
olive oil, as needed
1 onion, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1/2 cup corn kernels
1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
steak sauce (preferably British)
2 medium diced tomatoes
4 cups warm mashed potatoes (available at Tony's)
1 cup grated English cheddar
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.


Cook ground beef in a skillet with a drizzle of oil until well done. Drain fat if necessary and remove to paper towels, placing the skillet back on the stove. Refresh pan with a drizzle of oil and sauté onion and green pepper with corn and roasted peppers.
Mix veggies with beef, add tomatoes, then taste and adjust with steak sauce. Spoon into individual ceramic dishes, or a pie pan. Cover with warm mashed potatoes (spoon over, or pipe on decoratively with a pastry bag) and sprinkle with cheese. Roast on a lined pan in the top of the oven until browned and heated through (convection fan can be used to increase browning, if desired).
Note: If using cold mashed potatoes, warm in microwave to make them easier to pipe or spoon. Serves about 6. – Chef Michaelangelo (Mick) Rosacci, Tony's Market
