Ingredients

3 large or 4 medium potatoes
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1-2 beef bouillon cubes
1 cup boiling water
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons or more of ketchup
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Peel the potatoes and put them on to boil. Brown the beef and add the onion, cooking and stirring until done. Add the flour and mix well, turning the burner down to low heat. Dissolve the bouillon cube(s) in the boiling water; add the Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and ketchup. Mix well and pour into the beef mixture, stirring to mix. Spoon into a greased 9 x 12-inch baking dish. Rice or mash the boiled potatoes and spread on top. Bake in a 350° oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Put under broiler briefly to brown potatoes on top.

Serves 6

Note:Cooked peas and/or carrots can be put into the dish as bottom layer if deired. In England this is often made with left over cooked lamb. If so, grind meat and use only 1 tablespoon flour. This is an old English country recipe.
