Ingredients
Directions
Cook ground beef in large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up with potato masher or back of wooden spoon, for about 8 minutes or until no longer pink. Using slotted spoon, transfer to bowl and set aside. Drain off all but 2 tsp (10 mL) fat from pan.
Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic, onion, carrot, celery, pepper, salt and nutmeg to skillet; sauté for 4 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are softened. Sprinkle with flour; sauté for 1 minutes. Gradually stir in broth and bring to boil; boil, stirring, until thickened. Return beef and accumulated juices to skillet. Add corn and stir to coat.
Transfer into 8-inch (20 cm) square glass baking dish. Top with layer of sweet potatoes.
Bake in 350°F (180°C) oven for 35 to 40 minutes or until digital instant read thermometer inserted into centre of casserole reads 160°F (71°C)
Tip
Stir a splash of broth into the mashed sweet potatoes to make them easy to spread on top.
