MEXICAN SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Brown and drain ground beef.
• Add taco seasoning to taste [we prefer a less spicy mix, so I only use half the envelope].
• Add corn.
• Meanwhile, boil potatoes until tender, then mash.
• If you like, you can add butter and milk.
• Spread about one third of the potatoes in a round 2 quart casserole dish.
• Top with the ground beef mixture, then the cheese. Finish with the remaining potatoes.
• To use right away, bake at 350 about 30 minutes.
• To freeze, cover and freeze until solid. Lift out of casserole dish and wrap in foil. Place in zipper bag, label with name and date. Use within 3 months.
• To reheat, unwrap and place in original dish, defrost completely. Bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes.

TEXAS HASH CAKES #SP5

Steps:

• Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo and use a spoon to break it up and cook it until it is cooked through (approximately 8-10 minutes).
• In another skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Form hash browns into 6 small, flat rounds and place in hot pan. Cook hash brown cakes until golden and crispy (about 5-6 minutes), flip, and repeat on the other side.
• While hash brown cakes are cooking, prep fresh ingredients by slicing onion into 1/8 inch rounds and slicing avocado into 1/8 inch thick strips.
• Place hash brown cakes onto serving platter, spoon a generous portion of chorizo over the cakes, top with a few onion rounds and 3-4 strips of avocado. Serve immediately.

SIMPLY POTATOES SHREDDED HASH BROWN CRUSTED TILAPIA #5FIX

Steps:

• Place Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns on large cutting board.
• Press with paper towels to remove as much liquid as possible. Using a large knife, chop shredded hash browns into small dice. Press again with paper towels.
• Place eggs in shallow dish and whisk until completely blended.
• Place flour on a shallow plate.
• Run Tilapia through eggs, press flour into both sides and shake off excess, and then press firmly into finely diced Hash Browns. Place on wax paper or parchment paper and let sit for 15 - 20 minutes.
• Place canola oil in a large skillet over high heat and bring to frying temperature (very hot without smoking). To test, drop a few of the Hash Browns into the oil and if the oil bubbles all around them, it's hot enough. Carefully place 2-3 filets into the hot oil. Cook on one side until golden brown, then flip and bring the other side to golden brown, about 6- 8 minutes total.
• Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remainder filets. Serve immediately.

TEXAS STYLE HASH BROWNS SHEPHERD'S PIE

Steps:

• Brown meat and onions in a dry frying pan on high heat. Meat will cook in its own juices, so do not add oil. When cooked, drain.
• Tip back into frying pan and add tomatoes, soup, mushrooms and peas.
• Add one can full of water and stir.
• Add Worcestershire Sauce and A1 Steak Sauce to taste. (Use approx 2 tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce as a guideline, and 1 tsp of A1, but you will know when it tastes right!).
• Cook on a high heat until bubbling, then cover and reduce heat.
• Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• In the meantime add cheese and milk together in a bowl. Add beaten egg and stir until well mixed. Set aside.
• When Meat mixture has condensed down and thickened slightly, remove from heat.
• Spoon mixture into a 9x13-inch oven pan with a slotted spoon, draining off excess 'juice' if necessary.
• Pan should be 1/2 to 3/4 full.
• Add packaged hash brown mix on top of the meat mixture, pressing down to compact.
• Pour egg, milk and cheese mixture (above) on top of the hash browns, and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until hash browns have browned to a nice crispy golden colour.
• During the last few minutes of cooking, you can add extra shredded cheese to the top of the pie, and broil for a few minutes to melt.
• This recipe tastes great when served with HP sauce (which is a spicy English sauce). My husband also enjoys it with ketchup, however neither of these are necessary, and this is simply a serving suggestion! Enjoy!
