Ingredients:

• 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
• 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
• 1½ pounds leftover pot roast, cubed

• 8 to 10 medium red new potatoes, peeled and sliced into ¼-inch-thick slices
• 2 cups milk
• ½ cup sour cream
• 2 cups instant biscuit mix
• 1½ cups canned or frozen corn kernels or mixed vegetables, prepared according to package directions

Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onion in 2 tablespoons butter. Add pot roast and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.

Add potatoes to a saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until fork tender. Drain potatoes and transfer to a mixing bowl. Whip potatoes with an electric mixer, mixing until moderately smooth. Don't over beat them; a few lumps are nice. Add ½ cup heated milk, 8 tablespoons butter, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Whip again until mixed. Adjust thickness by adding more milk, if desired.

Combine biscuit mix and 1½ cups of milk. The mix should be thinner than that of normal biscuit mix but not runny.

Spray a 9-by-9-by 2-inch pan or other baking dish with cooking spray. Layer mashed potatoes halfway up the sides of the dish. Next, spread a layer of corn or mixed vegetables on top of the potatoes. Then add the layer of pot roast and onions with gravy. Pour the biscuit mix over the meat. Melt remaining butter and drizzle over top. Bake for approximately 35 to 45 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.
