Grandma's recipe that surprised everyone! It's easy and fast! 

You sound proud of the fact that you don’t know how to follow a recipe….😂

@@karina-oh7826 no, I'm proud of the fact that I don't have to follow exactly. I can make the recipe to fit what my family likes. I always make the recipe exactly the way it's supposed to be the first time. If you don't, how would anyone ever know what needed to be changed, adjusted or made exactly as it is?

Mine either!

I'm with you Janice! My son would be too because I taught him to make recipes his own. On first time the salt has to go because I have hypertension. Then I can figure out what seasonings would work best. I'd probably do a few variations and then settle on the best or maybe not settle at all. Definitely no unhealthy margarine, butter always. 👍

Don't use it. It's basically plastic and terrible for you. Stick to real butter.

I am having this tonight with a veggie saute and cheese bread. Made it according to recipe except i used butter.

It's the same thing.

Not even close.

No buts, it's got to be butter!

You can never have enough butter.

No substitutes! Because butter is better.

Please don’t hold back the insults. 😂😂

Or mushroom gravy, both sound good.

Exactly ❤

With tomato sauce it would be like meatloaf and mashed potatoes, and with brown gravy and vegetables it's like individual shepherds pie. Both sound yummy.

I agree, over the many years I've noticed that a whole lot of people always put tomato sauce, tomato that in their cooking. 😮‍💨

It looked like tomato sauce to me.

Butter makes it better,... I garientee!

That looks so good😅

🧈

So much this!😂

Margarine is plastic

2 lbs. of potatoes should suffice. :-)

I love how you had to be precise with the potato but not mention anything about how much ground beef

Waiting for this comment.

A kilo would be perfect.

@@justkerry173 You are wrong! Not a kilo, it's 999.32069 grams, at 0.32069 you can't round up to a whole kilo, that's only possible from 0.5. 😉 It doesn't matter if it's 950 or 1050 grams. But this stupid margarine can maybe be used as a night cream, but not for cooking, that's where butter is needed.

?

Unless it was the 70s. Lol

Or oleo 😁

Unless it was during the war.

Absolutely she did...And...if she had a farm, she probably made her own butter.

Pretty much it is. Just cooked differently. Tastes beautiful. 😉

*mashED

Shepherds' pie if lamb is used, beef makes cottage pie. Either is yummy 😋

@@Kevinrothwell1959 I didn't know that, but I always use beef never baby sheep!

It's a cottage pie lol

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Technically it would be a version of Cottage Pie, as it has Beef & not Lamb/Mutton. 😊

Only similarity is potatoes and minced meat

It's like individual cottage pies.

@@thecelticcrone7927 I've honestly never heard of cottage pie But I will take a word for it. People make shepherd's pie in different ways so that's why I thought of that. I am curious to know what cottage pie is though so i'm going to look it up thank you.

@@perfectlyimperfect9129 Cottage Pie is simply made with Beef, as Shepherds Pie is made with Lamb or Mutton (adult sheep). All the other ingredients, save Potato on top, depends on Family & Region. 🥰

hello how are you doing today? I love your complement, you look familiar have we meant before?

no difference

@@janetegner7244ask a cardiologist, it hardens in arteries

@@qanondon2100 why dont you honey.

Butter has more flavor for sure and IS DEFINITELY not healthier than margarine

@@nicholestroup1770 it is. Quit believing everything you hear

Just say no to butter😊

Correct. It's all unhealthy.

Thank you! No marg - butter all the way for mashed tatas.

Ikr? Who wants to add vegetable oil to their dish.Ikr? Who wants to add vegetable oil to their dish?!

Butter...it seems like it needs more liquid. Some kind of sauce.

Serve margarine to your ennemies and butter to the ones you ❤

It's like an inverted version of a shepherd's pie. I kind of like it though because the ratio of crusty potato crunch would be higher to the surrounding ingredient rather than just a small top layer like a traditional shepherd's pie is

Never have eaten it and never will

Made from plastic..ugh..

I think since it is grandmas recipie..back in the day..margarine was the bomb. Just substitute for butter@ Recipies are just guidelines anyway.

​@@ainemcdonald4868 Back in the day, Grandma used Oleo.

​@@carmarasmussen8118 Yes! My grandmother did! Lol

She said boiled potatoes, not steamed. Boiled potatoes are boiled in salted water, this is enough salt. German is more precise, boiled potatoes are called 'Salzkartoffel'. In contrast to steamed potatoes, they are peeled beforehand and then quartered. It's also quicker than steaming the whole, unpeeled potatoes, as the surface area where the heat can penetrate is larger, and they also absorb salt from the cooking water, which means you don't have to add extra salt in this case. At least not if you ask your cardiologist. Don't ask a chef, they always say a little bit and then throw in a whole handful.

😂😂😂😂

She put salt in there...

Make sure you have 35.25 pounds of potatoes just like grandma said.

Leftover gravy instead of tomatoes sauce!😊

Potatoes for Thanksgiving

I got a pan of cubes potato. I wanted something new. So zapped In microwave And made gravy...it was good.

Yes and drain off any excess fat from the cooked beef before adding the onion to cook!,,

@@elizabethhancock2874 I was gonna say that ...but then I guess I thought what the heck am I even doing here?🧐🤔😂😆🤣

😊 are the ingredients listed anywhere

I browned them separately and drained the completely. I used a cheese blend

​@@audreymaqksgood question i couldn't find them but it looked pretty straight forward. I used 3 tablespoons butter😊

😂🤣

is Cottage pie the same as or just similar to a Shepherds pie? I’m actually going to a restaurant tomorrow that has Shepard’s pie listed. As I’ve never had it, I am thinking that i will try it

@@maewebster9377 Cottage Pie and Shepherd's Pie are the same thing EXCEPT Shepherd's Pie is made typically with lamb and Cottage Pie with beef. If you're in the US, both varieties tend to be called Shepherd's Pie. I know I'm SUPER late finding your comment...so did you have the Shepherd's Pie at the restaurant? What did you think?

@@apocalypso3427 Thank you for telling me the difference. No, I didn't try it...ordering shrimp with pasta got the better of me, but also the ground beef and potatoes combo didn't sound so appealing after all at the time. I think it seemed more of a late fall meal; I associate some meals as seasonal, for instance Chili, stews etc....that's just me though.

@@maewebster9377 I definitely agree that it'd work far better in the fall. I'm sure you'll get a chance to try it sometime (or make it yourself...the recipe isn't overly complicated!). It's pretty good. Nice and filling and definitely comfort food :) Hope you enjoyed your shrimp pasta!

@@apocalypso3427 I am going to make it. Not wishing Summer away but thinking of some things. I have 2 that the first time that I heard of them I thought ooops...not for me, but they actually are good. One is tomato and red pepper gouda cheese soup and the other is chicken and sauerkraut in thousand island dressing with Swiss cheese. Doesn't that sound awful??😂. It actually is really good. It's one of those Saturday dinner meals..quick and easy because you put it everything in one dish and bake it

Old fashioned onion gravy better then sauce..

dont peel. the peelings are full of nutrition

@@janetegner7244 And the peel adds more flavor

Its pretty easy, don't know about quick if you're not used to peeling potatoes (just do what Janet said) but mincing/peeling garlic doesn't take that long and you can chop up them up while the mince/potato is cooking. If parsley is that big of a time waster, I think its best not to include it

You either are cooking or your not! You can pickup fast food on the way home! This is easy! And you can fine tune it by putting it what you want! Looks great!

I would probably just make this when I had leftover mashed potatoes=easy if you buy minced garlic in a jar/shaker with minced onion! 🤷‍♀️ Instead of slamming the recipe think of how you can adapt it to your time/pantry. 🤯

😂😂

I think they're in Brazil=tried to convert recipe from metric?

I always notice that, too. What does it add???? Just orange color and a slight dusty taste. Never saw the reason for paprika everywhere.

​@@bevtuft3572 I ❤ the bell pepper flavor of paprika

Maybe she's a mad Hungarian.......

@@emihayashi7725 well, there are dishes that a really good Hungarian or smoked paprika adds flavor, I will admit.

The point is to assault the consumer's taste buds to a point where they cannot tell how terrible the dish is.

Mmm, best Cuban Fast Food! Makes me want to go back to Miami...lived there a long time.😊

It can be done correctly..as it’s just a deconstructed version of a Cottage Pie, but without any other vegetables. If you added some cream, 1 egg & flour to the potatoes, they’d hold up much better as a “crust” and skip the cheese.

That’s really not very nice. If you don’t like it that’s OK keep it to yourself.👎

😂😂😂

I needed a good laugh Lol🤣😂🤣😂

If it was cooked appropriately, wouldn't they add the onions to the meat AFTER it was browned? 😄

I am a grandma and I plan on making it within a few weeks.

@@virginiapazour8462 Good luck and God bless

Swill! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
