Potted Beef - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. cooked beef, minced
2 medium onions, sliced
2 c. cooked carrots, sliced
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. soy sauce
1 pkg. instant mashed potatoes
2 Tbsp. heavy cream
4 Tbsp. bread crumbs
1 Tbsp. melted butter

Preparation

Cook the sliced onions in a bit of butter until just limp and tender.
Use them to line a 1 1/2-quart baking dish, over the bottom and up the sides if you can manage it.
Add a layer of beef, a layer of carrots, then repeat, seasoning each layer with salt and pepper and a few drops of soy sauce, until all is used. Make up mashed potatoes or use leftovers; spread over meat with a nice swirl, then trickle the cream over.
Top with crumbs and melted butter.
Bake at 400\u00b0 until heated through, about 30 minutes.
Serves 4.
