Filling

1. 1 lb ground bison
2. 1 medium carrot diced
3. 1 small onion diced
4. 1/2 cup of frozen peas
5. 1 tbsp butter
6. 1 tbsp olive oil
7. 1 tsp dried thyme
8. 3 cloves of garlic
9. 4 tsp tomato paste
10. 1 can of cream of chicken
11. salt and pepper

Potato Topping

1. 4 medium potatoes
2. 1 green onion
3. 2 cloves of garlic
4. 2 tbsp butter
5. 1/3 cup of milk
6. 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
7. salt and pepper

Filling

1. Dice the vegetables, add salt and pepper to the ground bison and mix.
2. Heat up pan with half the butter and brown the bison until cooked then set aside. At this point you can drain the meat, I didn't because our bison was very lean.
3. With the remaining butter and olive oil, cook the carrots and onions for about 10 minutes. Add in the thyme and garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Add the cooked ground bison back into the pan along with the can of cream of chicken. At this point the filling will be very thick, add in up to 1/2 can of water as needed.
5. Stir in the tomato paste and frozen peas.
6. Pour the filling into your baking pan and set aside.
7. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Potato Topping

1. Cut the potatoes into smaller cubes or slices and boil until soft.
2. Start mashing and add in the chopped garlic, parmesan cheese, butter and milk as you continue to mash. Once the potatoes are creamy, stir in the green onions.
3. Gently place scoops of the mashed potatoes onto the filling and spread into an even layer.
4. Bake for 25 minutes.
