Shepherd's Pie

1 small onion
1.5 pounds ground beef
Two 8oz cans tomato sauce
2 small cans whole kernel corn
8-10 med new red potatoes
1.5 cups milk
12 tbl butter
Sour cream
2 cups instant biscuit mix

Potato layer: Peel and slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick. Cook in boiling water about 15 minutes. Whip with an electric mixer, adding about 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup sour cream, and a stick of butter. Salt and pepper to taste.

Beef layer: Saute onion in 2 tbl butter. Add ground beef. After beef is browned, drain. Return to low heat and add tomato sauce and one small can of whole kernel corn.

Biscuit layer: Combine biscuit mix and 1 cup milk. The mix should be thinner than normal biscuit dough, but not runny.

Using a greased 8x11 (or larger) casserole dish, layer the mashed potatoes about half-way up. Next, add the other can (heated) of corn, then the beef layer. Top with the biscuit dough and 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes, or until biscuit layer is golden brown.
