1 cup chopped onion
4 ounces dried beef, cut up
1/4 cup hot fat
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cups thinly sliced carrots
2 cups thinly sliced potatoes
2 cups water
1 beef bouillon cube
pastry, to cover casserole (optional)

Sauté onions and beef in hot fat. Stir in flour and seasonings. Add remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer 5 minutes. Place in greased baking dish and top with pastry. Bake at 425° for 25–30 minutes.

Note:
In order to never have to make a pastry top especially for this recipe, I always save the leftovers whenever I bake pies. I either freeze the leftovers in the shape of a small circle, or else I cut every little scrap of leftovers into geometric shapes. When arranged on top of the casserole, it makes an attractive design.
