You just can't beat the convenience of this one-dish meal. I often prepare this pie the night before so that the next day, I can serve my family a satisfying meal in no time. Ingredients:
1 cup italian bread crumbs |
1 cup cold water |
4 medium potatoes, peeled |
1-1/4 pounds uncooked ground round |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
1/2 cup finely chopped celery |
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce |
1 can (4 ounces) mushrooms, drained and finely chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1-1/2 cups frozen peas and carrots |
1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Combine crumbs and water; let stand for 5 minutes. Cook potatoes in boiling water until tender. Combine meat, onion, celery, tomato sauce, mushrooms, garlic and pepper. Stir in crumb mixture.
2. Spread into an ungreased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Top with peas and carrots. Drain the potatoes; mash with cheese. Spread over vegetables, sealing to pan. Bake at 375° for 45-60 minutes. Yield: 6 servings.
