Living Insanity's Loving Food

  After making stuffing balls I had a craving for more stuffing.  This time I just made the stuffing without eggs and didn't bake it.  Sliced ham, scalloped potatoes, and another round of sausage stuffing. For the ham I made a glaze.  Orange juice, sugar, honey, mustard, cinnamon on the stove top boiled down to a thicker consistency.  Poured over the ham.  Ham went into the oven for 15-20 minutes to warm up. Scalloped potatoes are my usual recipe.  You only need butter, onion, milk, flour, cheese, and thinly sliced potatoes.  I have seen people do the layers differently.  I do a layer of potato, then sauce, potato, sauce.  I personally like bread crumbs on top, but my boyfriend doesn't.  I put bread on only half.  We use a mandolin to get our potatoes thin.  If I use a knife they take forever to get soft.  

This year I was in charge of the famous stuffing balls.

  So I would normally call this a shepherd's pie, but people have been correcting it to a cottage pie due to it not being made of lamb.  I made a double batch of filling in order to freeze a batch for an easy dinner later.  Someone suggested grabbing instant mashed potatoes for a really quick meal, but Adam says I won't like them. Ingredients for filling: 2 pounds ground beef, browned 4 tablespoons flour 4 tablespoons tomato paste small jar beef gravy 3 cups beef stock.  1 box is about 4 cups.  you may need extra 2 cans corn, drained 2 cans green beans, drained 3-4 carrots, diced 3 stalks celery, diced 2 small onions, diced 3-4 cloves garlic, minced Heat oil in a a large pan with tall sides if making a double batch. Brown the ground beef.  Do not drain.  to the beef and grease add 4 tablespoons flour and 4 tablespoons tomato paste. Cook flour and incorporate the paste. Next add in beef gravy and beef stock. Add in all the veggies and boil until the car...

  I have watched Girl on the Farm make hot dish before.  This is my first time making or eating one. 1 lb ground beef 1 diced onion 1 can corn, drained 1 can diced tomatoes with green chili, not drained 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 2 cups cheddar cheese 1 cup sour cream frozen tater tots 1 packet taco seasoning dried parsley for color In a hot pan brown the ground beef with diced onions and then drain.  Return to pan and stir in seasoning, corn, beans, diced tomatoes, 1 cup of cheese, 1 cup sour cream.  When everything is combined, add to a greased casserole dish.  Top with the last cup of cheese and tater tots.  Bake in oven at 425 until tots are golden brown.  Sprinkle parsley for color after baking. This could have used a green veggies like peas, but Adam doesn't like them!  I didn't have canned green beans on hand.  The dish was a hit and made good leftovers.

1 can apple pie filling 1 can of cinnamon rolls cut into 4ths Stir together and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes.  Drizzle the frosting on after.  Couldn't be easier!
