mmm sounds good trillian!

my shepherds pie - easy peasy

next day, set up food processor - add all the left over meat, couple of onions, couple of carrots - mince it all up. mix it in with left over gravy to get a nice consistency (i always make heaps of gravy cos it tastes sooooooooo good with chippies too!) - you can add a bit of tom sauce if you don't have a lot of gravy left.... boil up a mixture of spud, sweet spud, pumpkin (whatever you have there), mash with salt, pepper, a little butter, onion granules (if it takes your fancy) and grated cheese - put this over the top of the meat mix, chuck it in the oven and let it heat up - easy! serve with whatever extra veg you want - we usually just do peas and corn as extras

with the carrot and onion - just add whatever amount you need - it's so hard to judge cos it really depends on how much meat is left over. we made this the other day - cooked roast, made the gravy in roasting pan, pan in the fridge once it was cold. we then mixed the meat into the gravy in the deep roasting pan (is a big pan but we had heaps of left over meat) - then put the spud mix over the top in that pan - so no extra dishes! but you can make in a casserole dish. a 2.5kilo roast fed DH and I the nigth we cooked it, shepherds pie next night, and five frozen meals... and my DH has no teeny weeny appetite! you can do your spud mix however your family prefer - we do the mixture as i try to keep things as low gi as possible (spuds aren't very good gi wise!) - plus with DH working away, it's good to get a mix of vegies into him while he's away without needing heaps of extra work for him...


ahhhh, the waffle - i can't seem to stop!! i love cooking - just wish i had more energy to cook at the moment!
