List of Ingredients
2 lb ground chuck
1 green pepper
1 large onion
3-4 stalks celery
2-3 large cloves garlic
Olive oil, veg. oil, butter
salt/pepper to taste
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. clove
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. Bell's poultry seasoning
1 large can corn, drained
Mashed potatoes
Recipe
Chop all the vegetables fine, then saute till very soft in a combo of olive oil, veg. oil, and butter - (She says "don't skimp"!) This is NOT a low cholesterol recipe!
Add the hamburger and cook through till brown and finely crumbled, breaking apart with spoon as it cooks. Add seasonings.
Let simmer slowly 15-30"
Pour into large flat baking dish or metal pan. Top with corn layer, then mashed potatoes. She makes the mashed potatoes using garlic in the cooking water, then mashing with more butter and milk to somewhat stiff consistancy - it's better not to be too soupy textured.
Spread mashed potatoes over all.
Bake 350 degrees for 30-45" or until potatoes absorb some juices and start browning, and it's bubbling nicely in the center as well as the edges.
