Main  dish HAMBURGER or  shepard's PIE

 

2 lbs. ground round   

 1 pkg. brown gravy mix

5 lbs. "creamer" potatoes, peeled, cooked and mashed with margarine and milk 
(salt to taste)

1 box frozen green peas 

2-8 oz pkgs. grated sharp cheddar cheese

 

Brown the ground round and add gravy mix and water according to package 
directions.

 

Press the mashed potatoes in a greased 9"  X  13" Pyrex type baking dish. Using 
a rubber spatula, smooth the potatoes across the bottom and up the sides to 
form a potato "crust".  Place the peas evenly on top of the potatoes.  Pour 
meat and gravy mix over peas.  Top with cheese.  Bake at 350 degrees about 
30-40 minutes or until the potato "crust" is slightly browned.

[CnD] great side dish to hamburger pie

2012-12-28 Thread Amanda Wilson
Side dish APPLES

 

5 pounds firm, unblemished apples, peeled, cored and cut 

into eighths.  Place apples in an attractive pattern in a 

9" X 13" baking dish.  Pour Red Hot syrup over the apples. 

Gently turn them until all are coated with the syrup.  

Bake at 350 degrees for about 1 to 1 ½ hours until

the apples are tender and slightly transparent. 

Check during the baking and turn apples as needed to 

have a uniform red color.

 

Red Hot Syrup

 

8 oz. pkg. Red Hots® (also called Cinnamon Imperials®)

2 ½ cups granulated sugar

¾ cup water

 

Mix all in a large microwave safe bowl.  Microwave for 3 

minutes and stir with a wooden spoon. Continue microwaving

and stirring in 3 minute intervals until the red hots and sugar make a syrup. 
Remove from microwave and strain out any white "centers". Pour over the apples.

Re: [CnD] Carol's shepherd's pie recipe

2012-12-28 Thread carollablady

Here is my quick recipe.
Prepare instant potatoes packet according to directions.  (This would be 
a packet that requires 2 cups boiling water and nothing else but the 
potatoes.)
While they cool, brown and dreain about 1 to 1-1/2 lbs. ground beef and 
return to pan.  I use a dutch oven so I can mix things without making a 
mess.  Grin.

Add the following to the drained meat:
1 standard size can (14 to 16 ounce size) each of
drained cut green beans
drained whole kernel corn
Stir in one can condensed cream of mushroom soup approximately 11 oz. and
1 jar (approzimately 12 oz.) brown gravy.
Stir all of these ingredients well and season to taste.
Place in large baking dish, approximately 2 quart or 9x13.  Dollop the 
potatoes over the top.  If you want the potatoes a little crusty, leave 
uncovered.  If you want them creamier, cover.

Place in oven at 350 degrees until hot, about 30 to 40 minutes.

You can make many variations with this recipe.
Try substituting tomato soup for mushroom soup.  Add a cup of cheese 
sprinkled over the top about half way through cooking.  Use Succotash 
instead of green beans and corn.  Use peas and carrots.  The 
combinations are limitless.


This dish microwaves pretty well as leftovers, but if you don't want 
your potatoes stirred into the meat, I would recommend scooping the 
potatoes off before microwaving.  Once the meat is warm, place some of 
the potatoes over the top and cook again until the potatoes are warmed.
