This recipe isn't that healthy but it sure is good! Everyone in our house loves it (Hubby just informed me he would give it six out of five stars) and there are hardly ever leftovers! I don't know of anyone who made these except my mom and I was lucky enough to have her send it to me days before her passing so its definitely comfort food to me.

Shepards Pie
Again, from my Mama's recipe book. We had this on Wednesday and Hubby DEVOURED it!
Shepherd’s Pie
Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 onion, chopped (not needed if you use Beefy Onion soup mix)
3 tablespoons four or cornstarch
1 enveloped beefy mushroom or beefy onion soup mix
2-3 cups water
1 teaspoon salt or beef bouillon granules to taste
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 cans green beans
5-6 cups mashed potatoes
2 cups grated cheese
Method
►Brown beef and chopped onion together until onion is transparent and beef is well browned (browning helps create the flavor and color of the dish).
►Add salt or beef bouillon granules to taste.
►Remove from heat and stir in flour or cornstarch and dry soup mix.
►Add 2 cups water.
►Return to heat, bring to a boil; boil 2-3 minutes.
►Add additional water, as needed to create desired consistency of gravy
►Place gravy mix in bottom of 9x13 casserole or baking pan.
►Drain green beans and scatter over top of gravy.
►Spoon mashed potatoes over top and gently spread to form a crust.
►Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake at 350⁰ for 30-45 minutes or until hot, bubbly and cheese is melted.
NOTE: I personally prefer fresh mashed potatoes, but instant mashed works fine. If making fresh, use approximately 6-8 medium to small potatoes or about 6 cups diced potatoes.

Beef Stroganoff
Mama Kris had a bad experience with beef stroganoff so the boys have never really had it. Mr. Picky Two was up for trying it and now it is one of his favorites. Its easy and delicious.
Ingredients:
Round Steak* (or if you want a super fast easy meal, buy the already cut stew meat - its a little more expensive per pound but cuts out the most tedious part of the preparation)
1 can french onion soup
1 can cream of mushroom
Milk
Wide Egg Noodles
Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cut steak into strips about 1/4" thick and brown. Once browned, combine french onion soup, cream of mushroom soup, the browned meat*, and one can of milk in a sauce pan. Bring to a low boil (if you want the sauce thicker, add flour or corn starch until the desired consistency). Spray Pam on a casserole dish and pour sauce into dish. Place in oven for 30 minutes. While sauce cooks in the oven, boil a package of wide egg noodles according to the directions on the package. Once sauce and noodles are cooked, spoon sauce over noodles and enjoy!
Serve with: Green beans, and rolls (our pickies love their rolls - at least mine does.)

*for you vegetarian types, you can leave the meat aside and let your husband add it to his sauce later, or leave it out completely, it will still be yummy.

Tamale Pie
-From my Mom (out of a Healthy Heart Cookbook)
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 can beef broth (chicken broth okay too)
Combine cornmeal and 1/2 cup broth in large saucepan. Boil remaining broth and stir into cormeal mixture. Stir over medium heat until thickened. Press into a greased baking dish (line the sides and the bottom). Set aside.
Spaghetti sauce (up to a whole jar)
1/2 lb hamburger meat
1/4 cup onion
2 cups corn (or 1 frozen bag)
black olives (up to a whole can)
1 tbsp. chili power
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 1/2 cups chopped tomatoes (one can)
1/3 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
1/2 red bell pepper (optional)
grated cheese (cheddar works well)
Combine listed ingredients except for cheese and simmer 5 minutes stirring gently. Spoon mixture into lined baking dish, top with cheese.
Bake 30 min. at 350F. Serves 8.
Oddly enough, no tamales are in this recipe at all. Still quite good, though.
