ingredients

1 small onion, peeled and chopped
207.06 ml butter, divided (1 stick plus 3/4 stick)
680.38 g leftover pot roast, cubed
salt
black pepper
8-10 medium new potatoes
473.18 ml milk
118.29 ml sour cream
473.18 ml instant biscuit mix
354.88 ml niblet corn or 354.88 ml mixed vegetables, prepared according to package directions

directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Pot Roast Layer:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, saute onion in 2 tablespoons butter. Add pot roast and cook until browned. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
Potato Layer:
Peel and slice potatoes 1/4-inch thick. Place in 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 1/2 cup heated milk, 1 stick butter, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Whip again until mixed. Adjust thickness by adding more milk, if desired.
Biscuit Layer:
Combine biscuit mix and 1 1/2 cups of milk. The mix should be thinner than that of normal biscuit mix but not runny.
Spray a 9x9x2-inch pan (or any similar casserole 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 4 tablespoons of 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.

Versatile and great use of leftovers! Am glad I studied recipe because gravy is not in ingredient list but is in directions. I used 2 cups. Paula's original recipe does not list it either. And you do need it. Also, think the biscuit mixture is too thin and would reduce milk the next time. I used a casserole dish with deep sides. Thank you Elizabeth for posting.
