DEEP DISH MEAT PIE/CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place sliced carrots and cut up potatoes in a microwave safe bowl and cover with water.
• Cover the bowl with a wet paper towel and microwave until crisp tender not soggy.
• When done drain water and set aside until needed in the recipe.
• While vegetables are cooking in the microwave, brown meat in a large skillet, drain.
• Add onion and cook until tender, stirring occasionally.
• Add all vegetables and cut up cheese.
• Mix well.
• Spoon into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan on low heat.
• Add flour and salt, stir with a wire wisk until well blended.
• Cook 2 minutes or until bubbly, stirring occasionally.
• Gradually add milk or water, stirring until well blended.
• Cook on medium heat until mixture boils and thickens, stirring constantly.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer 3 to 5 minutes.
• Pour over meat mixture. This will thicken the casserole so that is why you may want a little more than 1 cup if you don't like a thick sauce.
• Separate dough into 4 rectangles and press perforations together to seal.
• Place over meat mixture.
• Bake at 350º for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• **NOTE-I ALWAYS season my meat with salt, pepper and garlic when cooking.
• I know that seasoned cooks know this but novice ones may not realize what a difference it makes even if the recipe does not "call for it to be done".
