Good neighbors: Here is the foolproof formula — you pick the mix-ins. There are five steps to this wonderful dish and requires a bit more effort than just a ground beef stir fry with mashed potatoes on top. Cook the potatoes: Peel 2 pounds potatoes (choose one kind) and cut into large chunks. You can leave the skin on Yukon or red-skinned potatoes. Peel the skins off russet potatoes. You choose the variety you want. Cover the potatoes with cold water in a large pot; season with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until tender, 20 minutes. Pick your meat: Choose one kind or use a combination — you’ll need 1-1/2 pounds total of ground beef, ground lamb, or ground turkey. Make your filling: 1. While potatoes cook, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in 1 chopped onion or sliced leek and 2 large carrots, parsnips or turnips (or a combination). Season with salt and pepper, stirring until vegetables are soft, 5-7 minutes. 2. Increase the heat to medium heat and add the ground meat. Cook, breaking up meat with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, 6 minutes. Spoon off fat and season with 1/2 half teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir in 2 finely chopped garlic cloves or 1 teaspoon jarred minced and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 teaspoon fresh finely chopped thyme; cook until softened, 1-2 minutes. 3. Make a space in the center of the skillet; add 3 tablespoons tomato paste and cook, stirring until darkened, about 1 minute. Stir into meat mixture 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Stir in 3/4 cup dry wine or red wine, tomato juice or stout. Simmer until the skillet is nearly dry, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup low-sodium broth and simmer until the mixture is saucy, 4-5 minutes. Choose your mix-ins: Stir in 1 cup frozen vegetables: peas, corn, Lima beans, or mixed small vegetables. Transfer to a 3-quart baking dish. Assemble the dish: Drain the potatoes and return to pot, Add 4 tablespoons butter and 2/3 cup half-and-half or whole milk; mash well. Season potatoes with salt and pepper and add up to 3 of the following mix-ins; 2 chopped scallions, 1
clove garlic, grated or 1 teaspoon jarred; 3/4 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese; 1-2 tablespoons dijon mustard; or 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish. Spread potato mixture over meat with back of spoon. Bake at 425 degrees oven, preheated, until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes.
Cast iron care Good neighbors: Never wash cast iron in soapy water. Clean in running water and always dry on top of a stove with high heat until completely dry. Add a few drops of veritable oil and coat bottom and sides. When cast iron is rusty or not releasing foods; wash, dry and oil generously, then bake in the over at 450 degrees for four hours. Usually it just takes one deep cleaning and you have a nice pan again. When you have stuck on food, soak in a little water and use a hard plastic scraper or something that “scrubs.” When storing, put a clean coffee filter in your pan to protect the surface — Another cast iron lover.
Donation suggestion Good neighbors: Probably a month ago some asked how to know which organizations to donate to are honest or a hoax. I don’t really have a good answer for that but thought I could recommend an organization we like and trust. Christian Aid Ministries is a non profit, tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization that has many different programs you can choose from to donate to. They help with the many physical and spiritual needs of people here in America and around the globe. This organization’s operating costs is only 2% of the total cost of donated goods. You can request newsletters or reach CAM for more information at: P.O. Box 360, Berlin, OH 44610. Phone: (330) 893-2428, online: christianaidministries.org.
