SIMPLE ARTICHOKE DIP
1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup mayo
1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded

MELISSA’S SHEPHERD’S PIE
1 ½ lbs. lean ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons flour
1 can tomato paste
1 can beef consommé’
½ cup red wine or beef broth
1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
1 tablespoon each of brown sugar and white sugar
1 tablespoon each of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion
powder, Tony Chachere’s and Worcestershire sauce
Prepare the recipe for mashed potatoes below and set
aside. In a skillet, brown ground beef
and onion. Don’t drain beef unless you
use a really fatty beef. I recommend
ground sirloin. Add the flour and stir
well. Add the tomato paste, peas and
carrots, consommé’ and wine. Now add all
seasonings, stirring well. I recommend
tasting the beef mixture to see if you would like to add more seasonings. Let simmer on very low for about 30
minutes. I like to use individual oval
baking dishes for these pies. You may
also use a 13x9 pan. Spray the baking
dishes or your 13x9 pan and spread mixture on the bottom. Top the beef mixture with the potatoes to
cover all of the beef. Sprinkle a little
extra cheese on top of potatoes if desired and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. The egg will make the potatoes puff up
beautifully J I like to broil the tops of the potatoes for
just 1 to 2 minutes at the end of the cooking process – watch carefully if you
do this! This makes 5 individual
servings or one 13x9 pan. Enjoy!
For the topping:
1 (24-ounce) bag of Ore’ Ida Steam & Mash Potatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup sharp cheddar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons sour cream
1 egg, beaten
Follow the directions on the bag and add the next 5 ingredients,
stirring well.
