I might take a stab at this dish on Saturday -
another winner from
Campbell’s Kitchen:
Garlic Mashed
Potatoes & Beef Bake
1
LB ground beef
1
can (10¾ oz.) Campbell's® Cream of Mushroom with Roasted Garlic Soup
1
TBS Worcestershire sauce
1
bag (16 oz.) frozen vegetable combination (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots),
thawed
2 C
water
3
TBS margarine OR butter
¾ C
milk
2 C Idahoan® Original
Mashed Potatoes
Cook the beef in skillet
until browned; pour off fat. Mix the beef, ½ can soup, Worcestershire and
vegetables in 2-qt. shallow baking dish. Mix the water, margarine and
remaining soup in saucepan; heat to a boil. Remove from heat. Stir in milk.
Slowly stir in potatoes; spoon potatoes over beef mixture. Bake at 400° F
for twenty minutes or until hot. Serves four.
The recipe above is supposed to be a variation of
Shepherd’s Pie, which I have made for years from a dish prepared by my mother.
Actually, in the good old days of 2000, the following recipe was the first dish
to appear on the original Shenanchie’s Kitchen:
Shepherd's Pie
The Canadian way, from
Joyce O'Toole
1
LB. lean hamburger
½
onion, peeled and minced
1
can (approximately 15 oz.) creamed corn
3
to 4 potatoes, peeled, cleaned and cooked
1/3
C milk
2
TBS. butter
Salt and pepper to taste
½ C
cheddar cheese, grated
In a skillet, cook the
hamburger with the minced onion; drain. Spread the cooked hamburger and
onion evenly on the bottom of a lightly greased baking or casserole dish.
Pour the creamed corn on top of this, spreading evenly. Peel, clean and
quarter the potatoes; cook in a pot of boiling water until tender and then
drain. (Potatoes can also be cooked in a microwave). In a bowl, mash the
potatoes with butter and milk, add the salt and pepper. Spread the mashed
potatoes evenly over the top of the creamed corn layer (similar to icing a
cake). Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Bake covered with foil at 350° until
heated through, and cheese is melted. Cut into squares and serve.
My husband doesn’t care for my version of
Shepherd’s Pie, so I make it for myself now and then.
