Only with out the Shepherd and lamb lol !
The weather was chilly yesterday and Papa and I like to have hearty suppers when its chilly ! Kind of stick to your ribs type foods , keeps ya warm, full and cozy !
We were both raised by British and Canadian parents and ate hearty foods in colder weather !
This is for two ! And some left overs as well hehe !
I have 6 medium peeled potatoes cut in half boiling , Half a pound of ground beef with half a sweet cooking onion chopped cooking and a cup of mixed frozen veggies ( peas, green beans, carrots and corn ) on the go ! I mix with my ground beef a bit of whistashashire sauce ! that's what we call it lol and a splash of HP sauce or brown sauce as they call it in England .
Once your meat and veggies are cooked combine the two in the meat pot with some of the veggie water for a bit of gravy and stir together . Then put in dish whilst you drain and mash the taters !
As you mash your taters add one table spoon of butter or margarine and a splash of milk , mash and blend . After I mash the taters I like to use a fork to give them a bit more of a whipped texture ! Just something I learnt from my Mama Smith !
Place mashed whipped potatoes over meat and veggies and evenly spread with a fork , then run the fork over the potatoes to get this design !
Then pop in the over just before supper time heat and bake at 350 for 20 to 25 min and it comes out piping hot and the potato is slightly crisp and golden brown ! MMM !
Then the part I don't like so much , the dishes !
I could put the pots in the dishwasher but knowing my luck I will need them at a later date lol !
I find that most dish soaps don't remove the potato starch that well from your pots unless you scrub the heck out of them and by that time you just had a major work out !
Mama Smith’s trick for getting starchy sticky cooked potato off your pots and lid . Old fashioned Cow Brand Baking soda . Pour a little in your pot and on the lid , gently scrub with your scrubby , rinse well and Voila ! clean as a whistle !
Miggy was out side the entire time , but when I let her in she went straight to the counter and did the sniff , sniff lick her chops, what smells so good mum ?
Miiiggggyyyy ! Get away from that !!!!!! That’s Mama and Papa’s supper , if your a good girl you may have some with your supper !
The weather is all over the place one day its chilly the next it’s warm , like today sunny and warm Mother Nature is playing tricks on us again .
Until next time hope you all have a great day !
