Shepherds Pie

Ingredients:
1lb  ground beef...I use lean but this is optional
1 can creamed corn
1 can Campbells mushroom soup
1/2 to 3/4 cup water
potaoes

Directions:
peel and boil potaoes

fry the hamburger until fully cooked adding salt and 
pepper to taste if desired, do not over cook .
Stir in mushroom soup, add water to desired 
consistency, it should be moist but not runny.
Remove from pan and put into a casserole dish. 
Spread it evenly.  Add the corn and layer it evenly. 
In the pot you boiled them in, mash the potatoes, 
adding milk and butter to make them creamy, they 
need to be smooth enough to spread. Layer them on 
top of corn. A spatula and wooden spoon are the 
best tools for this job. Best technique is to plop 
small piles of potatoes around the casserole dish 
and then even it out otherwise you end up 
mushing it all together!

Bake in oven at 350°F until potoes brown and hamburger 
starts bubbling.

Serve with ketchup, louisiana hot sauce, salsa or plain.

Mock Chinese Meal

Ingredients:
I Package of frozen premade mini meatballs (cook as many as required
1 can baby corn
1 can water chestnuts
1 can sliced pineapple
2 cups uncooked Minute Rice
homemade sweet and sour sauce

Ingredients for sweet and sour sauce:
2 cups brown sugar
2 tbsp. flour
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup hot water
2 2tbsp. soya sauce
1 tbsp. ketchup

Directions:
Make up the Sweet and sour sauce while you brown the meatballs in a large casserole dish.
Making the sauce is easy just mix all the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. This job I usually delegate to my 4 year old daughter. I help her measure but don't worry exact measurements here are not vital *G*
Once the meatballs are warmed a bit pour sauce on them and return to the oven for another 15 minutes
In the last 10 minutes add the corn, water chestnuts, and pineapple
Start the rice
Serve with Broccoli and fortune cookies.

My kids love this meal. It is easy on their delicate tastebuds. Everything is just their size and they even get to help cook. BTW it warms up nicely too.
