List of Ingredients
3/4 cup shredded pizza cheese or Italian cheese blend
2 cups mashed potatoes, or refrigerated mashed potatoes
8 oz. lean ground beef
4 oz. bulk sweet Italian sausage
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups sliced zucchini or yellow summer squash
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) chunky pasta-style tomatoes, undrained
1/2 can (6 oz. = 1/3 cup) tomato paste
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
Paprika (optional)
Flat-leaf parsley
Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 375º F. Stir in 1/2 cup of the cheese into the
potatoes;
set mixture aside.
2. In a large skillet cook ground beef, sausage, and onion until meat
is no
longer pink and onion is tender. Drain. Stir in squash, undrained
tomatoes,
tomato paste, and pepper. Bring to boiling. Transfer the mixture to a
2-quart
casserole.
3. Spoon mashed potato mixture into a large pastry bag fitted with a
large
round tip. Starting at one end, fill in the center of the casserole
with rows of
the mashed potato mixture until the meat mixture is covered. (Or, spoon
mashed potato mixture in mounds on top of hot mixture.) Sprinkle with
remaining
cheese. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired. Bake for 30 minutes or until
mashed
potato top is golden brown. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
Sprinkle with
fresh flat-leaf parsley.
Makes 6 servings.
