Easy Shepherds Pie Recipe

This recipe is so easy, yet so delicious. You can change up the type of meat (I have used a combo of beef, chicken and/or sausage) and use whatever veges you choose. It always comes out a winner! Whenever I bring it to a carry-in, I am inevitably asked for the recipe!

If you've got the ingrediants, chili is always a good way to go. Even if it's hot out, a good bowl of chili always seems to hit the spot for me.

If not, concider doing a dish such as stuffed peppers.

If you've got a surplus of veggies, I'd also tentatively suggest a semi-stir-fry. Brown the beef in one large skillet and in one or more skillets quick-cook (for like 3 minutes with lots of stirring) various veggies cut bite-size until crisp-tender, then mix in a warm bowl with a light sauce (I usually find something sweet is good) and serve over rice or noodles.

8 corn tortillas, cut in 1 inch wide strips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Saute ground beef and onion until meat is not pink. Add tomatoes, chiles, mushrooms, beans, chili powder, and cumin. Simmer uncovered 10 minutes.

In a baking dish, arrange a single layer of tortilla strips. Pour 1/4 of the tomato mixture and 1/3 of the cheese over the tortilla strips. Set aside a little of the cheese for garnishing. Repeat layers. Bake 30 minutes.

For topping, spread layer of sour cream over casserole and sprinkle with chopped cilantro and reserved cheese.

darn, no potatoes??

Well, I usually make something of a hash with cubed potatoes, sliced carrots, mushrooms, onions and ground beef- you could do the same with rice or noodles.

You can cook rice or noodles, brown the ground beef with seasonings you like and make a gravy with the beef drippings water and flour, pour this over the rice or noodles and serve a veggie or salad on the side

STUFFED CABBAGE LEAVES: Balandeliai - Golumpki

12 large cabbage leaves - cooked

1 1/2 pounds ground beef

1 cup cooked white rice

1 small onion - chopped

1 egg, beaten

1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning OR thyme

2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 Tablespoons oil

2 (8 ounce) cans Hunt's Tomato Sauce

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

1 cup water

1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Wash and place the head of cabbage in a large pot with water to cover. Cook over high heat. Boil cabbage over for 10 minutes, or until it is pliable and soft. Drain and allow to cool completely. Seperate leaves and remove the hard outer vein from the leaves.

In a separate large bowl, combine the beef, rice, onion, poultry seasoning, garlic powder and the egg, mixing well.

Place a small amount, about 1/2 cup, into the center of a cabbage leaf and fold leaf over, tucking in the sides of the leaf to keep meat mixture inside. (Some people use toothpicks to fasten them)

Heat the stuffed cabbages in oil of large pot or skillet, (I use an electric frying pan) putting any extra leaves on the bottom. Pour in the tomato sauce. Combine lemon juice, brown sugar and water. Stir into tomato sauce. Simmer covered, over medium-low heat for about 60 minutes. Baste occasionally.

(Keep an eye on them, making sure the bottom of leaves do not burn.)
