2 cups Chopped cold roast beef
1 cup Gravy
1 cup Cold diced potatoes (cooked)
2 tablespoons Chopped onion
1 cup Flour
2 teaspoons Baking powder
2 teaspoons Butter (or vegetable shortening) (Originally lard. Substituted with butter for modern preference. Can also use vegetable shortening for similar texture.)

Instructions

1In a bowl, mix together the chopped roast beef, gravy, cold diced potatoes, and chopped onion.
2Place the beef mixture in a shallow, buttered baking dish.
3In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the milk, mixing until a dough forms.
4Pat the dough into shape and arrange it carefully on top of the meat mixture. Make holes in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake in a moderate oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
