This comfort food casserole tops ground lamb with a layer of mashed potatoes. -- Mary MacDonald
Hands on time: 20 minutes Total time: 55 minutes Serves: 6
Ingredients:
-
3 large potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons milk
Salt and pepper
2 pounds ground lamb
1 onion, finely chopped
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons dried marjoram
1 1/2 tablespoons dried thyme
2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly grease a casserole dish. Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender. Add butter and milk and mash to desired creaminess. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside (you should have about 4 to 5 cups of potatoes).
Meanwhile, in a skillet, add lamb, onion and 1 1/4 cup water. Simmer, stirring frequently, until meat is cooked through and onion is tender, adding more water, a couple of tablespoons at a time, if needed for mixture to stay moist. Add marjoram and thyme and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Transfer meat to casserole dish. Top with 4 cups of mashed potatoes (or more if needed), spreading to cover meat evenly. Dot with 2 tablespoons butter. Cook for 30 minutes, then broil until potatoes begin to brown on top.
