1/2 red bell pepper, chopped

. Push to the side, saute meat, add salt, pepper and spices. Stir in tomatoes, corn. Let cool. Add :

1 cup shredded cheese.

Transfer to a deep oven-safe dish.

Thirty minutes before serving, top with a cornmeal muffin mix, mixing in 1/2 cup cheese. I make my own as follows:

1/2 cup cornmeal

2/3 cup flour

1/2 teas salt

2 scant Tbsp sugar

2 teas baking powder

1/4 cup melted butter (55g)

1 egg

1/2cup chicken stock (or water)

1/2 cup cheese

Spread over meat mixture. Bake at 200 ℃ (400°F) for 30 minutes. Serve hot. (Put salsa out for those who want more spice!)

Green Chili Casserole

This is great for a potluck, but even better bubbly hot out of the oven!

2 4-oz cans whole green chilies

3/4〜 1 lb ground beef

1 1/2 cups shredded cheese

3lrg eggs

1 cup milk

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

salt, pepper

Spread 1 can green chilies in an oven-safe dish. Saute ground beef in 1 Tbsp oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Spread over the chilies. Sprinkle with cheese, spread the other can of chilies on top. Beat the flour into one egg to blend. Add remaining eggs and milk. Add 1/2 teas salt and a dash of pepper. Pour over casserole. Bake in preheated 350°F (180°C) oven for 40-45 minutes. Serve while hot, in squares, with salsa, if desired.

Yummy!

Here’s our recipe:

Shepherd’s Pie

1 clove garlic, chopped finely

1/2 onion, diced

1 lb. ground beef ( or more if you like)

2 Tbsp flour

salt, pepper

1 cup beef broth ( I use 2 beef bouillon cubes and 1 cup hot water)

1-2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 Tbsp sherry (optional)

5-6 medium- size potatoes, boil and mash with 3 T butter and 1/2~1 cup milk (add salt if desired)

1 carrot, diced and boiled

1/2 cup green peas

1 half cup canned corn

Shredded cheese (optional but good!!)

Saute garlic and onion, add beef, cook until browned. Stir in flour. Add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir as it thickens. Pour into a casserole (lightly oiled??) Sprinkle on carrots, peas and corn. Top with mashed potatoes. I like to cover it with shredded cheese. Bake at 375 F for 30-40 minutes.
