2 lbs. lean ground beef 5 medium potatoes, peeled, boiled and mashed
Preheat over to 375°F.
Crumble the ground beef in a skillet. add the water or juice, and sauté, stirring with a serving fork to break up the chunks of meat until it is no longer pink or chunky. Don't overdo this or you will dry out the meat too much. Drain the skillet which will remove most of the fat.
Set meat aside, and in same skillet heat the oil, add the onions and sauté until golden, add chopped tomatoes and cook a few minutes more, add stock and seasonings, add the meat and mix well and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes more. Spoon the meat mixture into a deep Pyrex pie plate 9" or 10" or a 1-1/2 quart casserole. Top with the mashed potatoes and score top decoratively with a fork. Spray top lightly with oil spray. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes.
