Instructions
Step 1
Begin by sauteing the 5 ounce(s) shredded carrots and the 1 onion (chopped) in 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil for about 5 minutes with 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) thyme in a dutch oven or large pot.
Step 2
Add in the 2 1/4 pound(s) 80/20 ground beef and brown completely. Drain the fat.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Step 4
Add 2 cup(s) beef broth, 2 packs McCormick Brown Gravy Mix, 2 cans cut green beans (14.5oz), 1 1/2 tablespoon(s) thyme, 2 teaspoon(s) ground pepper, and 1/2 cup(s) red wine (optional) and cook down a bit. Let it get to a low boil.
Step 5
Take a bite and season to taste. You can add more salt or a teaspoon of Beef-flavored Better Than Bullion. If the gravy isn't looking very thick, take two tablespoons of gravy and make a slurry with 1 tablespoon of corn starch. Mix together in a cup and then mix it back in. It will thicken up more in the oven.
Step 6
Place the filling into the casserole dish and cover it with the 3 pound(s) mashed potatoes. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
