Ingredients

    21 ounces lean ground pork
    1/4 tsp black pepper
    1 whole onion, chopped (yellow or white)
    6 mushrooms
    2 cloves garlic
    1 T Olive Oil, separated
    2 T Cornstarch
    1 can Chicken Stock, separated
    1 1/2 T Worcestershire Sauce
    1# bag of frozen green beans
    1 zucchini, chopped
    3 green onions, sliced
    1 head cauliflower, cut into large chunks
    3 medium red potatoes, peeled and cubed
    1/4 cup 1% milk
    1/2 tsp salt

Tips

Add any herbs you like, such as thyme. Replacing some of the chicken stock with red wine adds body to the sauce. Serve with a green salad.


Directions

Brown the meat with black pepper and 2 tsp olive oil.
Saute the onions, mushrooms and garlic in remaining olive oil until the garlic blooms, add 1/2 can of chicken stock to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pan, combine with meat mixture. In a separate bowl mix cornstarch with remaining chicken stock, add it to the meat & vegetables and heat until thickened (about 3-5 minutes.) Add Worcestershire Sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Pour into a 9x13 casserole pan. Layer green beans, zucchini and green onions on top.

Bring 2 quarts water to boil in a 4 quart pot, add cauliflower, boil for two minutes, add potatoes and continue cooking for another 8-12 minutes, until cauliflower and potatoes are fork tender. Drain. Place in food processor with 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 tsp salt, process until creamed. Layer potato mixture over the top of the meat and vegetables.

Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until the casserole reaches 165 degrees.
