Ingredients

Filling

1 ½ lbs ground beef

1 large chopped onion

1 cup chopped carrots

5 cloves chopped garlic

8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced

¼ cup flour

1 cup veggie stock

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

2 tsp salt, more as needed

½ tsp pepper

1 large (2 3 pound) butternut squash

4 tbsp butter

⅓ cup sour cream

Mashed Squash

1 large (2 3 pound) butternut squash

Directions

Filling

Step 1

Peel, slice, and cube your butternut squash. Add to a pot of salted boiling water. Boil until fork tender.

Step 2

Brown your ground beef. While it browns, begin chopping your veggies.

Step 3

Strain the squash when cooked, then add back to pot. Add all ingredients listed under mashed squash and mash together.

Step 4

When beef has browned add in all veggies and garlic. With heat on medium, allow veggies to soften—7-8 minutes. When they’ve softened add in flour and stir until flour dissolves.

Step 5

Add in your stock and Worcestershire sauce. Stir until combined. Bring to a simmer and allow to thicken. Preheat oven to 400°.

Step 6

Smooth out meat mixture. Top with mashed squash and use a spatula to smooth out. Place in oven for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Remove and let set up for 5-10 minutes. Serve and enjoy.
