I got this recipe from a local hole in the wall Lebanese restaurant and tweaked it a bit. Best of both the sweet and savory worlds. As a time saver I keep a jar of this spice blend (Shawarma spice blend) on hand and just measure out 2 1/2 tsp of the combined mixture in order to make this recipe. For the frozen vegetables I use a combo of corn, peas, green beans and carrots. Ingredients:
2 lbs sweet potatoes |
1 lb ground turkey |
1 large onion, diced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom |
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 cup beef broth |
2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce |
32 ounces frozen mixed vegetables |
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Peel and quarter potatoes, boil until tender.
2. while potatoes are boiling, brown ground meat until no longer pink.
3. Add onion, seasonings, beef broth and worcestershire;simmer over low heat for 10 minutes or until onions are crisp tender.
4. Remove meat from heat and stir in frozen vegetables. Set aside.
5. Mash potatoes in bowl with butter, add milk to taste.
6. Place beef & veg in 9x11 casserole dish. Top with shredded cheddar.
7. Spread mashed potatoes on top. Use a fork to make peaks in the potatoes if you wish.
8. Bake uncovered in 400 degree F oven until bubbling and brown. (about 40 minutes).
