OK, it's not german at all, but Neko highly recommends it! Here are the ingredients:
About 2 cups mashed potatoes (make ahead or use leftovers)
2 lbs ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
Peas, corn, and any other veggies you like
Several dashes Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 lb button mushrooms, sliced
Gravy: 1 tbs olive oil
2-3 tbs butter
Worcestershire sauce
1 tbs fresh thyme, chopped
Kitchen Bouquet
Beef stock, warmed
Saute the onions and carrots in olive oil in a large dutch oven for about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook a few more minutes. Spice up the ground beef (in a large mixing bowl) with salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder, and paprika. Mix the spices in with the meat. Add the meat to the pot, turn the heat up, and cook, stirring occasionally until the meat is browned. Add the fresh vegetables :-).
Add some W sauce and nutmeg and give it a good stir. Remove from heat and let cool a bit.
Clean the mushrooms and quarter them. Saute them in a little olive oil over medium high heat until they begin to brown. Add the mushrooms to the meat mixture.
Now for the gravy. In a large saucepan, add the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the flour, and whisk vigorously and constantly.
Begin adding stock, a little at a time, and keep whisking. Keep adding stock until you get a nice consistency, not too thick.
Add the fresh thyme, salt and pepper, a dash of Kitchen Bouquet, and a few dashes of W sauce.
Stir the gravy into the meat mixture.
Final assembly: Spoon the meat mixture into a greased (non-stick spray) 9 x 12 casserole dish and spread evenly.
Top the whole mess with about a 1/2 to 1 inch layer of mashed potatoes. Spread evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula. Sprinkle a little paprika on top.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 45 minutes, or until bubbly. Remove from oven and let rest 15 minutes or so before serving.
Eat until you're dog tired!! Woof!
