Cooking Method

• Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a medium-sized pot. Cover with at least an inch of cold water. Add a teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender (about 20 minutes).
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large sauté pan on medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until tender, about 6 to 10 minutes.
• Add ground beef to the pan with the onions and vegetables. Cook until no longer pink. Drain excess fat if necessary. Season with salt and pepper. Add Worcestershire sauce and beef broth. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes, adding more broth if necessary.
• When the potatoes are done cooking, remove them from the pot and place them in a bowl with the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter. Mash with a fork or potato masher, taste, and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper.
• Spread the cooked filling in an even layer in a large baking dish. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top of the ground beef, creating peaks with a fork.
