Good Eats.
I'll have to refine the recipe but here's the ground floor version
In a large oven proof pot
put in 6 tbp butter and heat
put in half a large onion diced
add 6 tbp flour (Used unbleached)
cook until roux and onions take on some color
add two cloves of mashed/smash/minced garlic
slowly add one can of chicken stock stirring this whole time.
I had a deli chicken that I had robbed the breast from for
my chicken tortilla cassarole so I took remaining meat off the bones
and put in the pot, added 5-6 cups of frozen diced mixed veggies
put in half a pint of cream and simmered and stirred periodically
Add spices to taste
- today used Pizza seasoning, dill, Adobe and a touch more garlic powder
Start your over to preheat to 350 F
While this is simmering I took 5 large potatoes and took off the skin
and put them in the microwave but didn't quite cook all the way through
just enough to get a knife to go thru with little resistance.
then mashed 'em with salt, splash of milk and sour cream (to taste - about 8-10 tbp)
now gently layer the mashed potatoes on top of the pie filling
You want a fairly deep layer and sprinkle with a little cheese and
pop into the oven for 30-45 min or so. Wait 10-15 then dig in.
