Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. On lightly floured surface, pat dough to about 1 inch thick. Use 4-inch round cutter to cut dough into 6 rounds. Set aside while you prepare filling.

Reduce heat to medium, melt remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in pan and add onion. Cook onion until translucent but not browned. Add remaining 1/2 cup flour and cook for 1 minute more.
5. Slowly add beef stock to pan while whisking to incorporate. Add milk, potatoes, sweet potatoes, peas, herbs and browned meat. Salt and pepper to taste. Increase heat to high and bring to boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
6. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Top with biscuits. Bake until biscuits are browned and filling is bubbling, about 20-30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in fridge.
