My second recipe out of this book is another winner. Shepherd’s pie make with frozen hashbrowns. Genius. And mighty tasty as well.
You start off by browning ground beef and onions in a large skillet. Once the meat is no longer pink, you stir in flour and beef broth to make a simple gravy. To finish off the filling, a package of frozen peas and carrots are stirred in (the recipe calls for thawing the veggies, but I was lazy and simply microwaved them for a few minutes; they were fine.).
As you are cooking the filling, a package of frozen hashbrowns gets nuked until they are tender. Once the filling is done, you sprinkle the potatoes over the filling and then broil the dish until the hashbrowns are browned and crispy.
So easy! And the entire dish only took about 30 minutes. Sigh. I love this book.
Convenience cooking at its best! From microwave to oven to table in 30 minutes.
This sounds like an easy dish to make for a quick dinner. I think this has to go on the list. I might have to check out this book! Easy is a necessity these days!
