  • Add 1 3/4 cup broth to pan. Mix remaining 1/4 cup broth with 2 tablespoons cornstartch to a smooth paste and stir into pan liquid. Add ketchup and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until liquid thickens - about 2 minutes. Taste for seasoning, add salt if necessary.
  • Pour contents of skillet into pie dish.
  • Heat milk and butter together. Mash potatoes, adding milk mixture as needed to get a soft but not soupy consistency.
  • Spread potatoes over meat mixture and bake 20 - 25 minutes. Serve hot.
