Begin by peeling three large potatoes (about two pounds) then cutting them into one and one-half inch cubes. In a large pan, place the potatoes with enough water to cover them. Once the boiling begins, reduce heat and continue cooking until the potatoes are soft.

Peel two medium onions and three medium carrots and dice them. Place the onions and carrots in a saucepan greased with four tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter. Cook over moderately high heat until soft and season with salt. Add one and one-half pounds of ground beef. Brown the beef and stir occasionally.

Season the vegetable mix and beef with one tablespoon of Heinz Worcestershire sauce, one-third cup beef broth, salt and black pepper. Add kernels of one ear of corn (about one-half cup) and one-half cup of frozen peas. Cook until most of the liquid has dissipated. Pour into a baking dish.

Mash potatoes while they are still hot with four tablespoons of butter. Add one-third cup of slightly warm milk and mash until they are smooth. Season and spread the potatoes over the vegetables and beef.

Place the dish into a 400-degree oven for about 30 or 40 minutes, or until the pie is bubbling and potatoes are browning around the edges. Turn oven to broil and lightly brown potatoes.
