Shepards Pie

Shepards Pie
Mindy Butler
I have many good memories of Kenyon and I making this as kids...
this is a very basic recipe for a three layer casserole.
first layer:
brown 1 lb lean ground beef
(drain the oil out as it cooks- you'll add moisture back in with the sauce)
while in pan add;
salt pepper to taste,
1/3 cup ketchup
1/3 cup mustard
(*add more if desired for taste- sometimes i add brown sugar or worstershire sauce too...)
mix well, and place on the bottom of a medium casserole dish
second layer:
drain 2 cans of green beans. add on top of first layer.
third layer :
make up about 3-4 cups of mashed potatoes. I like to use half red potatoes and half sweet potatoes to add b vitamins. add a hefty dash of milk if the potatoes are a bit dry. layer ontop of the second layer. (shredded cheese is an optional topping here)
bake in the oven on 400 for 20- 30 minutes (untill the cheese melts and browns)

Baked Fruit and Cheese Sandwich

“The first time I had this was at a strange little Diner in Harlem. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into, but now it’s a favorite! I have one every other day! (great for breakfast too)”
1 fruit (apple or pear)
Cheese (your preference- I like cheddar with apples and Munster with pears)
Bread (croissants if you want to spoil yourself- I like whole grain)
Slice the fruit in half and then into flat slices, core last. Place a layer of fruit on the bread and then layer on cheese. Bake at 400 for 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the fruit is warm and soft. Enjoy!
