Categories     Savory Pies

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb ground beef or turkey
1/2 c chopped onion
1 envelope chili seasoning, divided
1 can(s) (14.5oz.) diced or crushed tomatoes
1 can(s) (15oz.)chili beans(hot or mild)
1 c frozen corn
1 1/3 c water
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 c milk
1 1/3 c mashed potato flakes*
1 c shredded cheddar or colby cheese, divided

Steps:

  • 1. Brown ground beef or turkey with the onion over medium-high heat until no longer pink. Add all but 1 teaspoon of the chili seasoning and mix well. Set remaining seasoning mix aside. Stir in the tomatoes, beans and corn. Cook and stir for 2 minutes, until heated through. Reduce heat to low and simmer while making potatoes. For potatoes: Bring water, salt and butter to a boil in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in milk and potato flakes. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Place chili mixture into greased 2 quart casserole. Carefully spread mashed potatoes on top of chili. Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese and reserved chili seasoning. Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes.
  • 2. *This is the 4 serving size amount of potatoes, which is how I wrote the recipe for the contest. I actually prefer it with more potatoes(the 6 serving amount). Just adjust the other potato ingredients according to the instructions on the box of potato flakes. Also, instant potatoes is something I rarely actually have on hand, so when I make this for us, I usually use real mashed potatoes.

LEFTOVER ESSENTIALS: CHEESY CHILI SHEPPERD'S PIE



Leftover Essentials: Cheesy Chili Shepperd's Pie image

During the Autumn/Winter seasons I make a lot of stews, chilies, casseroles, the lot. I freeze what is left and take it out when the fit takes me. As to chili, there are more things to do than just put it in a bowl and heat it up. This is an excellent way to use some leftover chili. We are talking about chili, cheese, and taters. What is not to like. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

  • This recipe is designed to feed one hungry person; however, you could double or triple the ingredients, put it into a baking dish and feed several.

  • Add the chili to the ovenproof vessel.
  • Add the cheese.
  • Add the taters on top.
