Cowboy Casserole using leftover Roast Beef and Potatoes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Pototoe layer:

leftover mashed potatoes. (if you only have potatoes leftover from your pot roast you can just place them in the bottom of your dish, vegies, meat, soup and biscuit mix)

Pot Roast Layer:

Using leftover pot roast with gravy. ( if I didn't have gravy I have used 1 can of cream of mushroom soup)

Biscuit Layer:

Combine 2 cups of biscuit mix and 1 1/2 cups of milk. The mix should be thinner than that of normal biscuit dough like pancake batter.

Spray a 9 by 9 by 2-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

This is a good way to use up your leftovers.
