1 cup carrots grated
1 cup corn
1lb lean gound beef
2 cups of brown gray or your choice of gravy
8 potatoes cut into big chuncks

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Chop peeled potatoes, and cut into chunks. Add a little bit of water and then cook potatoes until you can poke them with a fork. Add gravy, and let potatoes cook until gravy boils. In another pan, cook ground beef throughout and then set aside on warm. Add frozen corn and carrots into the gravy, and let cook for 10 minutes. Test potatoes again with a fork to make sure they are cooked. Drain fat from ground beef and add to casserole. Preference: let gravy set longer and cook into the meat. Cook for 45 minutes.
