2 tbsp (30 mL) milk
1/4 lb (125 g) lean ground beef

1/2 cup (125 mL) frozen corn or mixed vegetables

3. Finely chop corn or vegetables or leave whole. Stir into meat.
Smooth into an even layer. Top with potatoes, covering meat evenly.

If you like a golden potato top, slide casserole under a preheated broiler for 1 to 2 minutes.
Watch to prevent browning. Cool to lukewarm before serving.
