How to Make
-
Step 1: To make the topping: cook squash and potatoes in boiling water until tender, about 12-15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
-
Step 2: Add to pot: milk, salt and pepper, nutmeg, and Tabasco (optional for some, but not for me).
-
Step 3: Mash with potato masher until fluffy. Set aside to cool slightly.
-
Step 4: To make the filling: Saute the onion and celery in a large skillet until soft (about 5-6 minutes). Add garlic, and saute 1-2 more minutes. Remove to plate. Preheat oven to 350°.
-
Step 5: Add ground beef to skillet and cook until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Use potato masher to break up into small pieces.
-
Step 6: Stir in basil, oregano, cumin, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, reserved onion mixture and two tablespoons of flour.
-
Step 7: Add in the drained, chopped tomatoes and green beans. Mix well and bring to a boil.
-
Step 8: Lower temperature, cover and cook for about 20 minutes.
-
Step 9: Spoon ground beef mixture into a greased 9X13 baking dish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
-
Step 10: Beat the egg into the squash mixture. Spread squash mixture over beef filling.
-
Step 11: Make decorative swirls with fork if desired. Remember, this is Kittencal's recipe, so make it look good! Sprinkle with paprika and more Parmesan if desired.
-
Step 12: Bake in 350° oven for 40 minutes, or until top is bubbly and golden brown.
-
Step 13: Cool for 20 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
