Shepherd's Pie

Here is my Godma's version of Shepherd's Pie which is super easy.

Ingredients:
Mashed potatoes
Ground meat (your choice of beef,chicken orturkey)
peas
diced carrots (optional)
Worcestershire sauce
shredded cheese
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350F
Lightly grease a pie dish
Brown your ground meat in a skillet. Add approximately one tbsp of Worcestershire sauce. (adjust according to your preference)
Add in your carrots and peas.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper.
Set aside to cool.

Spread mashed potatoes evenly and mold it around the pie dish.
Spoon your ground meat ingredients on top of the mashed potatoes.
And cover the ingredients with another layer of mashed potatoes.
Decorate the mashed potatoes on top with a fork.
Lightly sprinkle the top with some shredded cheese (My Godma sometimes uses regular American cheese to write our names on individual mini pie casseroles)

Bake for about 25 minutes or until the top is lightly golden brown.
Serve warm.

Egg Casserole

We make this for breakfast OR for dinner, depending on the ingredients.

Basic Ingredients:


* 1 dozen eggs

* 1 cup milk

* 1 cup cheese (colby jack works well, but you can use just about ANY choice - we have used Swiss, cheddar, and many others)

Optional ingredients: chopped onion, chopped green pepper, chopped spinach, cubed ham, hash brown potatoes, crumbled bacon, sausage crumbles.

Preheat oven to 350. Whisk together eggs and milk, and then stir in additional ingredients. Pour entire mixture into a 9 x 13 sprayed pan and bake. Casserole is ready when it puffs in the center and is golden brown. You can top with a bit of cheese when you take it out of the oven - the cheese will melt on top of the casserole. Don't be alarmed if the casserole falls a bit as it cools, this is normal.
My kids LOVE this casserole. I change it up almost every time I make it, using different meat - or cheese, or a different veggie. Serve with muffins and a fruit salad.
