Shepherd's Pie (Cottage Pie)
My family loves this and it is so easy to make!
1 pound ground beef
Onions flakes
8 servings seasoned mashed potatoes (I use instant potatoes when I'm in a "pinch")
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 small can tomato paste
1 small can tomato sauce
Spices: Oregano, Thyme, Garlic salt or whatever you like!
Preheat oven to 350°. Brown ground beef with onion flakes. When beef is browned, drain off excess fat (I like to run hot water over the meat to get all of the fat off).
Add in tomato sauce and past and spices to taste. Simmer for ten minutes. Spoon meat mixture into casserole dish. Spoon prepared mashed potatoes on top of meat mixture. Top with cheese. Place in oven and bake until cheese is melted -- about ten minutes.
Easy Casserole
I got this recipe from an online mom that says, "This recipe has been in my family for years."
1 pound hamburger
1 large onion
Thirty minutes before suppertime arrives, put hamburger in a skillet on high and burn to a crisp. Fan smoke detectors. Five minutes before suppertime, cut onion and deeply inhale the fumes until tears are flowing freely down your face. When suppertime arrives, sob uncontrollably and then offer to take the family out to dinner.
Jackpot Casserole
I got this recipe from my mother-in-law, Genevieve. It sounds (and looks!) gross but really
tastes great. Serve this with sliced French bread.
1 pound hamburger meat
1/4 cup chopped onion (optional)
1 can Niblet corn
1 cup grated Velveeta cheese (or whatever you have)
1 can tomato soup
1 (5-ounce) package thin noodles
Preheat oven to 350º. Brown meat, then add onion (if desired) and sauté until onion becomes translucent. In a separate pot, cook noodles following the package instructions.
Drain excess grease from meat and mix with tomato soup, noodles, corn, and half of the grated cheese in a casserole dish. Sprinkle rest of grated cheese over the top of the mixture. Bake casserole for 45 minutes.
Hungarian Hamburger on Noodles
This is my hubby Paul's most favorite dish.
Sauté ground beef with onion flakes until brown. Drain off excess fat and return to pan. Add garlic powder and simmer for 3 minutes.
Stir in flour, salt, pepper, and mushrooms; cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in soup then cover and simmer ten minutes.
Right before serving, cook noodles then remove meat mixture from heat and stir in sour cream and parsley. Serve over noodles.
Hamburger-Potato Casserole
This yummy recipe is from my sister-in-law, Alicia. It serves 6-8 people.
4 to 5 small to medium potatoes, peeled, and sliced thin
1 pound ground beef, browned with onion flakes, salt, and pepper
1 can cream of mushroom soup mixed with 1/2 can of water
1 pound mild cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
Preheat oven to 350°. In a 9x13-inch dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, layer the potatoes, then the ground beef, then mushroom soup mixture, then top with the cheese. Cover and bake for one hour.
Yummy, but don't forget the Tums!
1 pound ground beef, browned and drained well
5 or 6 medium bell peppers
2 cups cooked rice
1/2 cup finely chopped onion (or onion flakes)
2 teaspoons salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1 tablespoon Teriyaki sauce
2 small cans tomato sauce
1 egg, slightly beaten
Wash and clean out inside of peppers and blanche for 3 minutes. Season rice with Teriyaki and salt to taste. Mix together 1 can tomato sauce, meat, rice, and seasonings. When you are happy with the flavor, stir in egg and stuff each pepper. Top the peppers with the remaining can of tomato sauce. Either put in large pan on stove top with 3/4 cup water, heat to boiling (stuffed peppers sitting in water); turn down and let cook slowly for one hour. Or put stuffed peppers in large oven dish, add 3/4 cup water; cover and let bake at 350
