what you need
- Part 1
- 3 lb. lean hamburger meat
- 1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped fine
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup catsup
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. coarse black pepper
- 1 package frozen vegetables
- Part 2
- 4 or 5 large potatoes
- 2 or 3 Tbsp. butter or margarine
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup Kraft Grated Cheddar Cheese
make it
Mix all ingredients in part 1 leaving frozen vegetables till the end. Gently mix the vegetables into the meat mixture. In a large lasagna type oven proof dish, press meat mixture on the bottom until about 2 inches thick all over. Place in oven and cook 1 hour at 350 degrees F.
While part 1 is baking, peel potatoes and slice in 1/2 inch slices. Boil for about 20 minutes until tender. Drain the water and add butter, milk, and salt and pepper. Mash well.
When meat is done, remove from oven and drain the fluids from the pan, using a turkey baster for safety. Smooth potatoes on top of the meat mixture. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the potatoes. Bake for another 20 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly brown. Let stand for about 15 minutes and then slice in squares for serving.
Notes
This is a delicious family dinner when served with a salad and rolls.
