This manly meal contains both meat AND potatoes and is one of Glen's specialties--a variation on a common dish served to him on his mission to England. It's perfect for those moments when you have a lot of leftover mashed potatoes, although we often will intentionally make too many mashed potatoes for a meal just so we can make this another night. 
(not pictured: green pepper)
The ingredients:
1/2 lb. ground beef (I prefer ground turkey)
1/2 lb. ground Italian sausage
1 large red onion, diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced
5 cloves garlic, pressed
1 can corn
2 cups brown gravy
3-4 cups mashed potatoes (leftovers are great)
Directions: Saute onions for 2-3 minutes, then add ground beef and sausage. Cook on medium-high heat until brown. Drain. Then add red and green peppers, garlic, and corn. Mix together for about 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
In 9x13" casserole dish, place thin layer (about 1 cup) of the mashed potatoes over the bottom of the pan. Then add the meat mixture. Drizzle gravy evenly over the top of the meat, then add the remaining potatoes spreading evenly over the top.
Bake at 400° for 20 minutes. Then turn the oven to broil and cook for an additional 5 minutes (to get the top golden brown). If desired, sprinkle ~ 1 cup of grated cheese over the top and broil for 1 -2 minutes more. Serves 8.
Enjoy!
