Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and quartered
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 tablespoons butter divided
- 2 teaspoons salt divided
- dash of pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion minced
- 1 carrot minced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Flour
- 1 cup gluten free beef stock Herb Ox bouillon or Kitchen Basics
- 1 teaspoon thyme

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Boil potatoes for 15 minutes. Drain and mash potatoes with a potato masher. Add water, 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1 teaspoon of salt and a dash of pepper. Whip with a spoon until fluffy and set aside.
- Heat oil in a skillet. Add onion and carrot and cook on low heat for 15 minutes. Add ground beef and stir over a medium heat, breaking up meat with a spatula for 5 more minutes. Drain beef mixture. Then add flour for 2 more minutes. Pour in bouillon, thyme, 1 teaspoon of salt, and nutmeg. Simmer until thickened for 5 minutes.
- Spoon into a 9-inch pie plate. Spread the mashed potatoes over the top. Scatter the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter around the potatoes. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Need to make it dairy-free? No problem. Instead of butter, use a dairy-free butter substitute like Earth Balance.
- If you can tolerate dairy, you can prepare your mashed potatoes with milk or half and half instead of water.
- I love to make homemade mashed potatoes, but if you want to save time Betty Crocker Potato Buds are gluten free and ready in 5 minutes.
