I recreated this family favorite that was demonstrated to me. It’s a perfect cold winter day dish or even as part of a New Year's or holiday dinner. It’s filling and a whole meal in one dish.

8 medium potatoes
4 tomatoes (medium) rose garnish
¼ lb mushrooms, sliced
¼ lb baby carrots
Small peas (fresh or frozen)
Sweet corn (fresh or frozen)
3 1/3 cups vegetable stock
Parsley and tomato for garnish
1 yellow onion, diced
½ cup butter (for potatoes)
½ cup milk
Shredded cheddar cheese

- Bake for 30 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown.
- Remove and let stand for 15 minutes.
