Comfort food with a twist – a zip of curry and a layer of sweet potatoes breathe new life into this classic. For a vegetarian version, omit beef and add 2½ cups thawed, cubed hash browns. Convenience tip: look for prepared, mashed sweet potatoes in the refrigerator aisle at your grocery store.
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Place beef, onions and carrots in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook 5 minutes or until browned. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Stir in curry powder, cook, stirring, 1 minute.
Combine ¼ cup almondmilk and cornstarch in a small bowl with a whisk. Add cornstarch mixture, remaining almondmilk, tomato paste, salt and pepper to pan. Bring to a boil and cook 2 minutes or until thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in peas.
Place beef mixture in a 9” deep dish pie plate. Top evenly with mashed sweet potatoes. Bake at 450°F for 20 minutes or until heated through and potatoes are beginning to brown.
Refrigerate leftovers.
