Yields8 Servings

2 lbs ground meat (I used ground beef)

2 tbsp flour

1 chopped onion

2 tbsp chopped garlic

salt/pepper to taste

2 15oz cans corn or equivalent frozen/fresh corn

2 cups chicken broth (or omit flour and broth and add a can of creamed soup with 1 cup water)

6 cups mashed potatoes to cover top

2 cups shredded cheese of your choice

Preheat oven to 375°F. Add onion and meat to large oven safe skillet. Brown ground meat. Drain all but 2 tbs of fat.

Add flour and garlic and cook about 2 minutes until garlic is soft and flour is slightly browned.

Pour in broth slowly (stir a little in at a time to avoid lumps).

Once desired consistency is reached, mix in (drained) canned corn. If you need it thinned more, include some of the liquid from corn.

Add salt and pepper to taste. Smooth out layer and top with mashed potatoes. I make mine in the Instant Pot. (Put chopped potatoes in IP and cover with water. Cook for 8 - 10 minutes. Quick release once timer goes off. Add butter, milk, sour cream, and salt to taste)

Bake for about 15 minutes until warmed through. Remove from oven and add cheese. Return to oven for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly browned.
